Jupiter: Things you need to know about planet Jupiter

By Jennifer M. Kyle

How did the name Jupiter come about?Since ancient times, people have been aware of Jupiter because it is the fourth-brightest object in the Earth's sky, after the sun, the moon, and Venus. The Roman deity Jupiter is the source of the planet's name as we know it today. Jupiter was known to the ancient Greeks as Phaethon, which is Greek for "blazing star," and to the Babylonians as Marduk, who was the patron god of Babylon. According to The Nine Planets, other historic names for Jupiter include Brhaspati (Sanskrit), Tzedek (Hebrew), Muxing (meaning "Star of Wood" in Mandarin), and Mushtari (Arabic) (opens in new tab). This book will help you know a lot about Jupiter and it's recent state . Jennifer M. Kyle is an investigative freelance journalist on the topic of the U.S. space program for 12 years.
