The first planet studied by the Voyager space probes?
Jupiter
What planet did the voyager first go to?
Jupiter was first.
What was the first planet discovered by the Voyager space probe?
Voyager did not discover any new planets. By the time Voyager was launched we already knew of all the planets in our solar system that we know of today. There were also two Voyager probes, not one. The first planet that either probe studied was Jupiter, which we had known for millennia. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March 1979 while Voyager 2 flew by in July of the same year.
what was the first planet studied by voyagers space probes?
Jupiter
What probes took pictures or recorded videos of Jupiter?
The first spacecraft to visit Jupiter was pioneer 10 in 1973, followed a few months later by Pioneer 11. Aside from taking the first close-up pictures of the planet, the probes discovered its magnetosphere and its largely fluid interior. The voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes visited the planet in 1979, and studied its moon and the ring system, discovering the volcanic activity of Io and the presence of water ice on the surface of Europa. Ulysses further studied Jupiter's magnetosphere in 1992 and then again in 2000. The Cassiniprobe approached the planet in 2000 and took very detailed images of its atmosphere. The New Horizons spacecraft passed by Jupiter in 2007 and made improved measurements of its and its satellites' parameters.
What planet did Voyager 1 visit?
Jupiter (Voyager 1 & 2)Saturn (Voyager 1 & 2)Uranus (Voyager 2)Neptune (Voyager 2)See related link for a full description of the Voyager exploration
What was the name of the astronomer that studied Jupiter and believed in Copernicus theory?

What is the first gas planet?

What happened on March 5 1979?
On March 5, 1979, Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Jupiter, capturing detailed images of the planet and its moons. Voyager 1's flyby provided valuable insights into Jupiter's atmosphere and magnetic field, and its discoveries paved the way for future missions to outer planets.
