To send space probes to the four giant planets in the outer solar system seemed in the mid-60's impossible. Rocket power could carry a spacecraft no further than Jupiter. But the young student Gary Flandro found out that in 1975-76 all four giants should be on the same line, which happens only every 175th year. This would make it possible to reach all four planets with one flight, using the gravity of each planet to catch the space probe and pitch it off in a new direction at a greater speed. After 10 years of preparation the two spacecrafts Voyager 1 and 2 began in 1977 an incredible journey. To reach Neptun, the 4th of the giants, would take 12 years. The space probes transmitted photos not only from the four planets, but also from their moons. What the astronomers and geologists saw was something they never could have imagined. Not only the four planets, but also all their moons, are worlds that are very different from each other. Many of them are also geological alive, some even ...

The planets are nine worlds that seem to have little in common, except that they circle around a single sun and are bound together by its gravity. Shortly after World War II the Soviet astronomer Viktor Safronov picks up the 200 year old idea that the planets were formed from a cloud of dust. Gravitational instability first formed big clumps, which through gravity fused to planets. A huge number of such planets then collided and fused until only the four planets of the inner solar system remained. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars bear scars of their creation. The craters on their surfaces are signs of hard collisions with collapsing planets. Outside these four planets are the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, which became so large that they started sucking in the primordial gases from the original dust cloud, thus swelling to 100 times bigger than Earth. The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are still a mystery. The Kuiper belt outside Neptune consists of thousands of gigantic ice chunks. ... Written by Maths Jesperson {maths.jesperson1@comhem.se}
