From article - www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/102951429.htmlJupiter is making its closest pass by Earth for the year. And this year’s pass is a little closer than any other between 1963 and 2022. Jupiter is nearest to Earth on the night of Monday, September 20th: 368 million miles away. But it remains nearly this close and bright (magnitude -2.9) throughout the second half of September. Coincidentally, Jupiter is also passing almost in front of the planet Uranus just now. Uranus is 5 times farther away and almost 3,000 times dimmer, so it’s invisible to the unaided eye and contributes no light to speak of. But binoculars or a telescope will show Uranus less than 1° from Jupiter now through September 24th.

November 23 2010. PLUMES ON JUPITER: Astronomers are monitoring a cluster of energetic plumes breaking through the cloudtops of Jupiter. Regard the image below. Each of the bright spots is a massive convection cell rising high above the usual cloud deck: Australian astrophotographer Anthony Wesley took the picture on Nov. 17th using a 16-inch telescope and a 890 nm "methane band" filter. Jupiter's atmosphere is permeated with methane, CH4, a strong absorber of sunlight at 890 nm. That's why the giant planet looks so dark in Wesley's image. The only things bright in the methane band are high-rising hazes and plumes that reflect sunlight before it enters the planet's methane-dark interior... If planetary scientists are correct, these plumes are heralds of a much bigger event--the return of Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt, which mysteriously disappeared almost a year ago. Soon, the planet-girdling belt could pop up through the cloudtops like a submarine surfacing from depth. Stay tuned. www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&month=11&year=2010

Nice video for planetary scale.

by jove, the big zeus - alturnito. Show #133 Host: Marshall Masters 20-February-2011 [00:58:08] What the Heck is Happening with Jupiter? — Author, J. Edward Carper and Ed Douglas YowRadio.com In September 2003, Yowusa.com published an article titled, Could NASA Use Galileo to Create a Jovian Nagasaki? by Jacco van der Worp. In this article, discussed what could happen to Jupiter once the 48 pounds of Plutonium-238 plunged deep into the gas giant, and that is exactly what came to pass... The bottom line is that Jupiter could already be well along in the process of becoming a sun and when it lights, a lot of us are going to die. That is, except the elites who've awoken this terrible monster to suit their own aims. yowusa.com/radio/cttc/2011/cttc-0211-133/1.shtml The Philosopher's Stone for the Transformation of Jupiter www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxScp0Vd5rgComing soon from Oaklight Publishing!

Here is a 4 sec. clip of an impact on Jupiter I recorded on 10 Sept. 2012. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/19299984@N08/7976507568] Around the world, amateur astronomers have been scanning the cloudtops of Jupiter for signs of debris from an explosion witnessed by Dan Peterson and George Hall on Sept. 10th. So far the cloud layer is blank. When fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter in 1994, each major flash observed by NASA's Galileo spacecraft produced a "bruise," a murky mixture of incinerated comet dust and chemically altered Jovian gas twisting and swirling among the clouds. In July 2009, amateur astromer Anthony Wesley discovered a similar mark thought to be debris from a rogue asteroid crashing into the planet. August 3, 2009 science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2009/03aug_whathitjupiter/ So where is the debris this time? spaceweather.com/

Christmas Night Sky: moon/Jupiter conjunction The Moon, nearly full, shines upper right of Jupiter and Aldebaran early this evening, as shown above. Look too for the Pleiades closer left of the Moon. By around 9 p.m. Jupiter and the Moon are level with each other, when they're both very high overhead. www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance

Jupiter's 'Smashing' Migration May Explain Our Oddball Solar System | March 23, 2015 03:01pm ET Jupiter may have acted like a giant wrecking ball in the newborn solar system, roaming in to destroy an early generation of inner planets before retreating to its current orbit, researchers say. This Jupiter finding could help explain why the solar system is so different from the hundreds of other planetary systems that astronomers have recently discovered, and that life as it is known on Earth might be rarer than previously thought, the scientists added. In the past two decades or so, researchers have confirmed the existence of more than 1,800 planets orbiting distant stars. These discoveries have included nearly 500 systems that, like our solar system, possess multiple planets. These findings revealed that our solar system is very unusual. www.space.com/28901-wandering-jupiter-oddball-solar-system.html
