The Section aims (i) to encourage people to observe Jupiter, and to provide advice on doing so; (ii) to monitor the visible changes in the atmosphere of the planet, and (iii) to produce scientifically valuable reports on these changes.

This web site is used for posting our reports and publications on Jupiter from 2015 onwards, including reports on the images from NASA’s Juno orbiter at each perijove.

The previous Jupiter Section web site still exists, at:  http://www.britastro.org/jupiter/
(link ‘Jupiter Section external website‘ at upper right).  It includes a permanent archive of our reports from 2005 to 2015, and a list of our publications up to 2015 (including PDFs of many of them); but it is no longer maintained, so some other items there including links to other sites are out of date.  For further information, please go to ‘About the Section’s web pages’ (link in column at right).

BAA members interested in joining the Jupiter Section are invited to email the Director (John Rogers) via the BAA web site.  Email bulletins are sent out to Section members from time to time, often to notify them of items posted on this web site, or to encourage observations of specific phenomena.  We also have a Facebook page ‘BAA Jupiter Section’.
