The moons of Jupiter Lab-20 points

Today we will be doing a simulation lab in a group.  You will need the lab Revolutions of the Moons of Jupiter, found on your computer or here


Run the simulation for the four moons of Jupiter for 30 days.  We will print the data attained in a graph format.

After class discussion, you need to put a 2 paragraph reflection on your blog, discussing:

a) the periods of the four moons
b) the graphical pictures attained
c) the difficulty Galileo must have had with a 10x telescope
d) why the 'mini-system' Galileo saw influenced his heliocentric viewpoint.
