Jupiter is an extraordinarily colourful and dynamic planet. Over
minutes, one can watch tiny shadows cast by its moons slide over
its surface; over days and weeks parades of diverse, giant swirling
storms can be seen to move and evolve. It is because of this
richness of visual and physical properties that Jupiter has
intrigued amateur and professional astronomers and has been the
goal of several space missions. This highly illustrated volume
provides a comprehensive and accessible account of Jupiter and its
satellites. It reviews systematic telescopic observations that have
stretched over more than a hundred years, in addition to modern
observations and theories, and the wealth of data from the Pioneer,
Voyager and Ulysses space missions. As well as a thorough survey of
the planet's atmosphere, this volume presents an up-to-date account
of our present knowledge of Jupiter's satellites and magnetosphere,
at a level accessible to the non-specialist. This volume provides
the definitive account of Jupiter for advanced amateur astronomers,
professional astronomers and planetary scientists.
