Jupiter
About Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass nearly 2.5 times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined and slightly less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Its diameter is 11 times that of Earth and a tenth that of the Sun. Jupiter orbits the Sun at a distance of 5.20 AU (778.5 Gm), with an orbital period of 11.86 years. It is the third-brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky, after the Moon and Venus, and has been observed since prehistoric times. Its name derives from that of Jupiter, the chief deity of ancient Roman religion.

Amazing person. Fair enough. But even before that, Kepler said that there were two moons of Mars. He said Earth had got one moon and Jupiter had four moons and so it just makes logical sense that the planet in between must have two. He was right. He was right. He was apart from the fact that Jupiter has a lot more than that and the logic is completely spurious.

Former professional golfer Greg Norman is known as The Shark, because he's from the home of the great white shark, Queensland, and because he plays very aggressively. While fishing off the coast of Jupiter, Florida, he managed to hook an 80-pound black-tipped shark which was then immediately attacked and eaten by a hammerhead shark ten times as big. Norman and his friends eventually wrestled the hammerhead along the boat, swam next to it for a bit, and then released it.
