- Jupiter made its closest approach to Earth since 1963 yesterday. The gas giant will remain exceptionally big and bright for the next several weeks, so now is the perfect time to observe Jupiter and its moons in all their glory. https://astronomy.com/magazine/news/2022/09/hail-to-the-king 7 comments astronomy

- The Juno spacecraft has made many great discoveries about Jupiter, including: A ring of United-States-sized cyclones around each pole, powerful winds extending thousands of miles below the cloud tops, differently shaped magnetic fields in the north and south, and a huge and fuzzy (not solid) core. https://astronomy.com/news/2020/06/jupiter-revealed 37 comments space
- Astronomers have made the first-ever observations of a circumplanetary disk, the planet-girding belt of dust & gas that they strongly theorize controls the formation of planets & gives rise to an entire system of moons, like those found around Jupiter. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-07/nrao-cd071119.php 3 comments science
- Astronomers spot a stormy super-Jupiter exoplanet that's 1,800°F (980°C) and has an atmosphere that's almost primarily made of carbon monoxide scattered with clouds of iron and silicate dust. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/03/astronomers-peek-at-a-young-stormy-exoplanet-swirling-with-iron-clouds 10 comments worldnews

- First ring system around asteroid: Researchers have made the surprise discovery that remote asteroid Chariklo is surrounded by two dense and narrow rings. It is the smallest object by far to have rings and only fifth in Solar System — after Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — to have this feature http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1410/ 3 comments science

- Saturn’s rings are so much brighter than Jupiter's because they're made mostly of ice particles replenished by many small moons embedded in the rings. Jupiter’s dim, thin rings, by contrast, are made mostly of dust shed from a few small moons, and the large Galilean moons destroy any large rings. https://astronomy.com/news/2022/07/why-dont-jupiters-rings-look-like-saturns 14 comments space
- Juno spacecraft finds 'sprites' and 'elves' dancing in Jupiter’s skies. These transient flashes of light are the result of roiling thunderclouds. But unlike sizzling lightning bolts, sprites and elves are actually made of a cold plasma. https://astronomy.com/news/2020/11/sprites-and-elves-seen-dancing-in-jupiters-skies 3 comments space
- Juno finds 'sprites' and 'elves' dancing in Jupiter’s skies. These evanescent flashes of light are the result of roiling thunderclouds. But unlike sizzling lightning bolts, the flashy tendrils of sprites and elves are actually made of a cold plasma (think fluorescent light). https://astronomy.com/news/2020/11/sprites-and-elves-seen-dancing-in-jupiters-skies 4 comments science
