ABOUT THIS BOOK

When Jupiter was first published in August, 1976, editor T. Gehrels wrote, "we may never do a better book."

Summarizing the research and data following the first flyby of Jupiter in December 1973, this work brings together the knowledge of the best scientists in the fields at the time of it's publication. The work covers the origin of Jupiter, origin and structure of the satellites, models of Jupiter, comparison of those models, and much more.
