IYA2009 Special project: observing mutual events of the Galilean satellites
26 June 2009
Jupiter's system is becoming ever-more observable, with opposition occurring on 14 August. Many observations have already been made and thanks to good images and advanced software, we have created some excellent animations (from Mark Salway and Antony Wesley) which are available online.
Observations are mainly being made in the Southern hemisphere due to the negative declination of Jupiter. Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Brazil and also Europe, USA and China have submitted many light curves of high quality. Some amateurs are even creating websites with their results. After gathering the data and analysing them, a catalogue of all observations will be published.
