Question 1 Can you find Jupiter in the sky? It may help to remove the ground here (press G). Can you find the other Gali

Question 1
Can you find Jupiter in the sky? It may help to remove the ground here (press G). Can you find the other Galilean satellites in the sky? Where are they lo- cated in your Stellarium window?
Question 2
You may fast forward and slow down time in the window by pressing on the J and L keys on your keyboard. How does your view of Jupiter change in the sky over time? How about the other moons? Please describe the motion of each of the other Galilean moons briefly. Note the following hints:
1
Hint 1: For this step you may find it convenient to click on Jupiter and then press the spacebar to center the screen onto Jupiter.
Hint 2: Remember that you can think of Jupiter with its collection of moons as sort of a ”mini-solar system of its own”. That should assist you in visualizing what is happening.
Question 3
In step 2 while you were observing the other moons of Jupiter go around Jupiter what did you observe was happening with their brightness? Was the brightness of each moon constant or not? Why or why not?
