The likes of Jupiter and Threadneedle, two asset managers, have been for sale for ages.
Dubbed Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, they were designed by NASA to photograph Jupiter and Saturn.
In the early 1970s Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 were sent to fly past Jupiter and Saturn.
Investors still look likely to vote against NatWest as Jupiter and Standard Life, two fund managers, have already declared.
Galileo, which has spent the past two years studying Jupiter and its four largest moons, will now concentrate on Europa's icy crust.
These momentarily warmer periods coincided with times when orbital positions of Jupiter and Saturn were relatively close to the Sun and Earth.

Yet scientists are already speculating that this planet may be of a similar size to Jupiter and have its own ring system.
The laurels for that probably belong to the rescuers of Voyager 2, the second of two probes launched towards Jupiter and Saturn in 1977.
But what we think is that the really big guys, Jupiter and Saturn, had it relatively easy and they didn't suffer so much at this.
They are believed to have broken away from the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and are our nearest neighbours in space after the Moon.
"First, this icy 'super-Earth' dominates the region around its star that in our Solar System is populated by the gas-giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, " he said.

And once the planets lined up in their orbits, Earth would "overtake" the others, meaning that Jupiter and Saturn would appear to change direction in the night sky.
These upheavals will, supposedly, be the result of a planetary alignment, as the combined gravitational influences of the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn wreak havoc on the earth.
But computer modelling revealed that most of the asteroids ejected by Jupiter and Saturn quickly dive into the sun, and thus cannot account for the large number of known Earth-crossers.
It is running out of fuel for its thrusters, and once that has gone its path will be at the whim of the gravitational fields of Jupiter and its moons.
And then we started, you know, scientists, astronomers started to wonder, well, why is it that Jupiter and Saturn seem to be pretty much where we expect them to have been born?
Just over 50 extrasolar planetary systems have so far been discovered and analysis of them shows just how unusual our local system is with its giant planets (Jupiter and Saturn) positioned well away from the Sun.
To cap that, having looked at Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2's controllers decided to extend the mission by taking pictures of Uranus and Neptune as the craft continued on its journey out of the solar system.
Hughes's best explanation for this series of events is something known as a triple conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn - with the two planets coming close together in the sky three times over a short period.
Scafetta believes that a natural 60-year climate cycle associated with astronomical cycles may also explain calendars adopted in traditional Chinese, Tamil and Tibetan civilizations, since all major ancient civilizations knew about 20-year and 60-year Jupiter and Saturn cycles.

Dr. THOMMES: Well, what we think happened in our solar system is that we are an example of a system that was sort of near the boundary between something that actually formed gas giants, formed, well, the Jupiter and Saturn that we see today, and something that if conditions had been a little bit different wouldn't have really formed any gas giants at all.
It seems there are now going to be two kinds of planets: the real thing, like Earth and Mars and Jupiter, and then something called plutons, which are funny things that are kind of planets and kind of not planets.
On May 28, 1959 a rhesus monkey named Able and a squirrel monkey named Miss Baker blasted off on an American Jupiter missile and became the first primates to successfully travel into space and return to Earth alive.
Christianity was not yet the religion of Rome, and many people were reluctant to be wooed away from the old gods, such as Jupiter, and his jolly companions Venus and Bacchus.
The main source of meteorites, Chinese folklore notwithstanding, is the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, a rough-and-tumble region of our solar system in which would-be planets are upset by Jovian gravity.
Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, and Enceladus, which orbits Saturn, both have large volumes of liquid water buried beneath their icy crusts.
Most are gas giants like our Jupiter, and many orbit so close to their parent stars that any microbes would have to survive roasting temperatures.
An international team of researchers said the so-called protoplanet has a mass that appears to be at least the size of Jupiter, and perhaps two to three times larger.

Indeed, Scafetta pointed out to me that in the Hindu tradition, the 60-year cycle is known as the cycle of Brihaspati, the name of Jupiter, and that every 60 years special ceremonies are celebrated by some populations, such as the Sigui ceremony among the Dogon people of Africa.
