Hey Space Bloggers, it’s picture clue day!
Take a look at our new destination.

Don’t worry about the heavy cloud cover. We’ll be able to see right through that, thanks to our friend Cassini.

Where in the Solar System is Destination Nine? And the location is…
Congratulations Bird of the Wind, Gulfstream, and Aidoboy for figuring out that Destination Nine is indeed one of the four moons of the the gas giant Jupiter discovered in 1609 by Galileo Galilei, with a warm water sea that Earth scientists feel just might harbor life, and like a continent on Earth, was named after the mythical queen…

Where in the Solar System is Destination Nine? (day 4)
Hey Space Bloggers!
I don’t know about you, but um, lovely as Destination Nine is, I want to get back to Earth before the summer’s over — for those North Hemispherian’s anyway. And you South Hemispherian’s don’t want to miss spring, right?

Space Game! Where in the Solar System is Destination Nine? (day 3)
Hey Space Bloggers!
Aidoboy has figured out what planet we are near here on our virtual visit to Destination Nine (see his comment to the last post). All you have to do now is pinpoint exactly which of that planet’s many moons we are on. Here is your next clue.
This particular moon is the focus of much attention on Earth because it may have three ingredients necessary for life:
- water – a huge liquid ocean covered by a layer of ice
- heat energy – the gravitational pull of the nearby planet probably causes tidal waves rocking and warming the ocean
- organic molecules – brought by comets

[Hey Space Bloggers, sounds like one of the moons took offense when D8 called him ‘potato shaped’ in last post’s limmer-iddle.
