GRAPHICAL DETERMINATION OF THE PERIODS OF JUPITER'S MOONS

A neat application of the Jupiter's Moon's software by Jan Dabrowski, Marylhurst College, Portland, Oregon.  Set the software so that there is no automatic identfication of the moons, and students can make a graphic plot of positions versus time that they can use to identify the moons and their orbital parameters.

THE PERIOD OF IO

Another neat application of the Jupiter's Moon's software by Jan Dabrowski, Marylhurst College, Portland, Oregon.  Students measure the position of Io over time and determine its period.
