An experiment has been performed in interplanetary space which closely simulates the observations that would be madef by an ultraviolet spectrometer observing the atmospheres of the jovian planets. A mixture of ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen was released from the Mariner spacecraft, and spectra were recorded while these gases were illuminated by sunlight. The principal emissions observed were the HI 1216-angstrom Lyman-alpha line, the H(2) B-X Lyman bands, and the NH c-a and A-X bands.
在星际空间进行了一项实验，该实验非常接近地模拟了紫外分光计对木星行星大气进行观测时所得到的观测结果。氨、氮和氢的混合物从水手号宇宙飞船中释放出来，当这些气体被阳光照亮时，记录了光谱。所观察到的主要发射线是 HI 1216 埃姆斯特朗莱曼阿尔法线、H(2) B-X 莱曼带以及 NH c-a 和 A-X 带。
