Following a series of experiments in which you are flung against walls to test the resiliency of the human body, you are ejected from the ship and find yourself in a maelstrom.
 
  Whipped by winds gusting at 10,000 km/hr, rising and falling in convective currents, you are not having a good time. On the rare occasions when you can assess your surroundings, you notice a horizon that seems to go on forever (or, at least, much farther than the horizon on Earth), and no solid surface anywhere. You get a glimpse of several large moons. The Sun races through your sky, requiring only about 5 hours to rise nearly due east, cross the meridian at an altitude of about 55 in the north, and then set due west.

  A) Shortly after the invention of the telescope, in the early 1600s

Answer to Question 1

You are in the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. This immense storm is found at a latitude of about 35S on Jupiter. To understand the motion of the Sun through the sky, recall that, because Jupiter has only a very slight axis tilt (3), the celestial equator and the ecliptic are nearly coincident.
