Our goal is to obtain around-the-clock data on the positions of Jupiter's moons -- something that we believe has never been done before. Students will then analyze images to determine periods and orbital radii of Jupiter's moons, use this data to calculate Jupiter's mass and density, and will publish the results on the web and in print media.

Brief Description: From Dec 26, 2002 to Jan 7, 2003 Hands-On Universe schools from around the world will image the planet Saturn with small telescopes, and endeavor to provide as continuous coverage as possible of Saturn. Our goal is to obtain around-the-clock data on the positions of Saturn's moons -- something that we believe has never been done before. Students will then analyze images to determine periods and orbital radii of Saturn's moons, use this data to calculate Saturn's mass and density, and will publish the results on the web and in print media.
