Astronomy 161 - Introduction To Solar System Astronomy

Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in the Solar System, and the prototype of the Jovian Gas Giant planets. This lecture focusses on the planets themselves, looking at their composition, atmospheres, and internal structures. We will leave discussion of their fascinating systems of rings and moons for next week. Recorded 2006 Nov 15 in 100 Stillman Hall on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
