Globbing is the process of expanding a non-specific file name containing a wildcard character into a set of specific file names that exist in storage on a computer, server, or network. A wildcard is a symbol that can stand for one or more characters. The most common wildcard symbols are the question mark (?) for a single character and the asterisk (*) for a contiguous string of characters regards, Sarabhjeet Singh Khalsa

What is the origin of the jovian moons?

Two reasons. Firstly, Jupiter is extremely massive - 318 times the Mass of Earth. Anything passing near to it will either be flung out of the solar system, ripped apart by gravitational tides, or captured into orbit. Secondly, Jupiter orbits just beyond the Asteroid Belt, which contains perhaps more than a million Asteroids ranging from 1 kilometer in size to 1,000 kilometers - and countless more that are smaller. Most of Jupiter's large flock of moons are most likely captured asteroids that wandered too near the gas giant to escape, but not so close they were ripped to pieces. I think that Jupiter has many moons because of the fact that it has to hold plenty of asteroids in the asteroid belt.
