Title: The Properties of Jovian Trojan Asteroids Listed in SDSS Moving Object Catalogue 3 Authors: Gy. M. Szabo, Z. Ivezic, M. Juric, R. Lupton We analyse 1187 observations of about 860 unique candidate Jovian Trojan asteroids listed in the 3rd release of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Moving Obj...

The two biggest storms in the solar system are about to go bump in the night, in plain view of backyard telescopes. Storm #1 is the Great Red Spot, twice as wide as Earth itself, with winds blowing 350 mph. The behemoth has been spinning around [url=http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?for...

Jupiter is in the centre of Virgo where it brightly shines (magnitude -1.7) (Diameter: 30.6"). Jupiter gradually emerges from the bright dawn skies at the start of the month. It reaches a fair altitude above the so...

A new study suggests that Jupiter's cloud bands are driven by thunderstorms. The jet streams that give Jupiter its colourful cloud bands may extend thousands of miles into the planet’s interior, and are...

Anthony Wesley has reported another impact on Jupiter At approximately 20:30 UTC, 3rd June, 2010, Anthony Wesley recorded a bright flash that lasted a couple of seconds on Jupiter.

Impact mark on Jupiter, 19th July 2009 Preliminary image showing a black mark in Jupiters South Polar Region (SPR) which is almost certainly the result of a large impact - either an asteroid or comet - similar to the Shoemaker-Ley impacts in 1994. [url=http://jupiter.samba.org/jupiter-impact....

Callirrhoe, also known as Jupiter XVII, is one of Jupiter's outermost named natural satellites. It is an irregular moon that orbits in a retrograde direction. Callirrhoe was imaged by Spacewatch at Kitt Peak National Observatory from October 6th through November 4th, 1999 and originally des...

Optical flash on Jupiter optical flash on the surface of the Jupiter captured at 18h22m12s on August 20 (UT). Unfortunately this time is uncertain in ±1min.

Transit of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (Jovian System II Longitude=161°) at 18:12.6 GMT, 7th March, 2011. The Great Red Spot (GRS) is a persistent anticyclonic storm, 22° south of Jupiter's equator, which has lasted for at least 181 years and possibly as long as 346 years or more [url=http://en.wikip...

Ananke is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by Seth Barnes Nicholson at Mount Wilson Observatory on the 28th September, 1951 and is named after the mythological Ananke, the personification of Necessity, and the mother of the Moirae by Zeus. The adjectival form of the...

Himalia is the largest irregular satellite of Jupiter, the sixth largest overall in size, and the fifth largest in mass. (Only the four Galilean moons of Jupiter have greater mass.) It was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at the Lick Observatory on 3 December 1904 and is named after the nymph Him...

Elara is a prograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at Lick Observatory in 1905. It is the eighth largest moon of Jupiter and is named after the mother by Zeus of the giant Tityus. Read more...

Jupiter's heart is dissolving New calculations suggest that Jupiter's rocky core is dissolving like an antacid tablet plopped in water. The work could help explain why its core appears smaller and its atmosphere richer in heavy elements than predicted. Giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn are t...
