For a typical $95,000 railcar, a high investment grade company might see 12-year lease rates of $475 per car per month for 12 years, while a low investment grade might see $575 per car per month for eight years. Total cost may be from the 2.50% I just mentioned to a higher rate of 4.25%.
We can't land here on Jupiter's surface, since it's a sea of cloud tops, but we can get warmer by descending. Buffeted by extreme winds, we descend, and the pressure mounts. The winds don't subside. They continue to blow about 450 mph (725 km/h) all the way down the atmosphere (at least as far as we've probed).
Jupiter, largest of the planets, reaches maximum brilliance January 5. On that date, it lies at a point astronomers call opposition. As viewed from Earth, Jupiter lies directly opposite the Sun. On the 5th, Jupiter rises at sunset, sets at sunrise, and is visible in the sky all night. Januaryâs opposition also is the point when the planet lies closest to Earth, so Jupiter shines brightest and appears largest. Furthermore, opposition places a planet at its highest point â due south â at local midnight. When Jupiter is at its highest point, we view it through the least amount of Earthâs atmosphere. The higher a celestial object, the less air weâre looking through and the better the view. This sequence of three images of Jupiter taken December 28, 2013, shows the planetâs rotation in 44 minutes.
