This view of Jupiter’s atmosphere from NASA’s Juno spacecraft includes something remarkable: two storms caught in the act of merging.
The two white ovals seen within the orange-colored band left of center are anticyclonic storms — that is, storms that rotate counter-clockwise. The larger of the two ovals has been tracked for many years, as it grew in size through mergers with other anticyclonic white ovals. JunoCam was fortunate to capture this new merger, which typically takes place over the course of only a few days. The event interests scientists because the ovals had approached each other months earlier, only to move apart again.
This merger may be the result of perturbations due to the proximity of Oval BA, which is the larger storm just to the north of the two merging, white ovals. Oval BA is the second largest anticyclonic vortex in Jupiter's atmosphere, second only to the famous Great Red Spot. During this pass over Jupiter, Juno gave scientists their best views of Oval BA to date.

▶ "On 8 October, a waxing gibbous moon will be hovering near to Jupiter, the 'king of the planets.' Both will be posed about one-quarter up in the east-southeast part of the sky as darkness begins to fall. The moon, which will be less than 24 hours from full phase — 99-percent illuminated by the sun — will be situated just below and to the left of Jupiter, a distance measuring roughly 4 degrees. To gauge how wide 4 degrees is, your clenched fist held at arm's length is equal to roughly 10 degrees."
— Space.com.
***************
▶ "The Hunter’s Moon is the first full Moon to follow the Harvest Moon (which itself is the full Moon which occurs nearest to the date of the autumnal equinox), meaning that the Hunter's Moon can occur in either October or November. This year, the Harvest Moon occurred on 10 September closely preceding the equinox on 22 September. So, the Hunter’s Moon followed it one lunar cycle later, on 9 October.
▶ The earliest use of the term 'Hunter’s Moon,' cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, is from 1710. It is believed that this full Moon came to be called the full Hunter’s Moon because it signaled the time to go hunting in preparation for the cold winter ahead."

▶Photographer's note.
☞ I wanted Jupiter to be strong in the image, as it appeared to my naked eye. So, I took two images and composited them together as a focal length blend. Jupiter appears where it was in reality. See specs below.
☞ And, yes, the moon was 'only' waxing 99.5% full. But, again, I wanted Jupiter to be prominent.

Jupiter in the dusk sky of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. a pleasant summer evening by the great lake.
A light beam projects from the Jupiter Lighthouse in Jupiter, Florida. Prints, and many other items, are available on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
can't believe my luck last night as i glimpsed out the window to see a perfect cloudless night with the moon and a shiny bright object to its left which i thought could be jupiter. its been reported that jupiter is at its nearest orbit with earth at half its usual distance so took out my canon to take these shots
The Galilean moons of Jupiter Ganymede Europa Callisto.
It’s always amazing to see it through my camera.
Thank you for all faves and kind comments.
An image of Jupiter taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light on Aug. 25, 2020, is giving researchers an entirely new view of the giant planet and offers insights into the altitude and distribution of the planet's haze and particles. This complements Hubble’s visible-light pictures that show the ever-changing cloud patterns.
In this photo, the parts of Jupiter’s atmosphere that are at higher altitude, especially over the poles, look red from atmospheric particles absorbing ultraviolet light. Conversely, the blue-hued areas represent the ultraviolet light being reflected off the planet. A new storm at upper left, which erupted on Aug. 18, 2020, is grabbing the attention of scientists in this image. The “clumps” trailing the white plume appear to be absorbing ultraviolet light, similar to the center of the Great Red Spot, and Red Spot Jr. directly below it. This provides researchers with more evidence that this storm may last longer on Jupiter than most storms.

Jupiter with the Great Red Spot visible. Accompanied by one of the Galilean moons, Callisto.
Picture was taken with:
Sky-watcher Skymax 102, Celestron 2x Barlow and ZWO ASI 120MC-S (on a Star Adventurer Pro)
Recorded in Firecapture, 10% of 2000 frames stacked in Autostakkert, and then sharpened in Registax 6. 😉
Jupiter and Venus moving towards conjunction. Composite of two images taken a day apart on 10th and 11th June showing their apparent movement in just 24 hours.
Last night was wonderfully clear, so I took the opportunity for a couple of shots of Jupiter as I had read somewhere that it is at its closest to Earth for around 59 years. I took two shots - one to expose it as a very bright disc that also shows the four larger moons, and the other to show some surface detail which I just managed to pick up in the form of a few cloud bands.
Not exciting shots, but I am a bit of a space nerd at heart, so I couldn't miss the opportunity.
Handheld shots taken almost straight up as Jupiter was almost overhead near midnight. Both shots are heavily cropped right down to around 5mp.
This latest image of Jupiter, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope on Aug. 25, 2020, was captured when the planet was 406 million miles from Earth. A unique and exciting detail of Hubble’s snapshot appears at mid-northern latitudes as a bright, white, stretched-out storm traveling around the planet at 350 mph. Hubble shows that the Great Red Spot, rolling counterclockwise in the planet’s southern hemisphere, is plowing into the clouds ahead of it, forming a cascade of white and beige ribbons. Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, thought to hold potential ingredients for life, is visible to the left of the gas giant.

When the moon finally stopped for a breath, Jupiter chimed in. And all the while the Tide was just chattering in the background, talking of stories only the locals remember.
At about 89,000 miles in diameter, Jupiter could swallow 1,000 Earths. It is the largest planet in the solar system and perhaps the most majestic. Vibrant bands of clouds carried by winds that can exceed 400 mph continuously circle the planet's atmosphere. Such winds sustain spinning anticyclones like the Great Red Spot—a raging storm three and a half times the size of Earth located in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere. In January and February 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft zoomed toward Jupiter, capturing hundreds of images during its approach. The observations revealed many unique features of the planet that are still being explored to this day. Watch the video (1.usa.gov/1l0JZ9h) to see a time-lapse of Jupiter assembled from images taken by the spacecraft.

My first attempt to take picture of Jupiter with Galilean Moons. I took only two pictures by Nikon Z 7 + Sigma 150-600 @ 600, f 6,3. First at Exp 1/10 s, ISO 1250 where are Galilean Moons good visible and Jupiter is overexposed, second at Exp. 1/20 s, ISO 400 where is Jupiter "correctly " exposed and Galilean Moons almost not visible. No mounting, only tripod. Blended and edited in Adobe PS. Cropped.
First attempt at capturing Jupiter. The North Equatorial Belt and the Great Red Eye are slightly visible. Jupiter's moon Ganymede is visible to the right.
Early morning Jupiter hunt
Jupiter this morning between 05:52 and 06:40. The Great Red Spot (GRS) was watching us :) The GRS is so big that it could swallow our little lovely planet Earth.
Also how amazing the fast rotation of this planet. It completes one full rotation around its axis in less than 10 hours...
I took 7 videos which I have stacked and processed, then later made this animation from the 7 photos.
Equipment:
Skywatcher 127/1500 maksutov tube
Skywatcher Allview mount
ASI 224MC colour camera
TeleVue Powermate 2.5x
ZWO ADC
A silver Jupiter 9 photographed with a silver Helios 44, early 13 blades version.
I decided to include both these lenses and this photo in a video I've just posted on the best M42 lenses (even though they are M39 lenses!!)

This lighthouse was first lit in July 1860. In 1939 the US Navy established an intelligence listening post (Station "J") at the lighthouse and constructed the barracks building for naval personnel and their families. The secret installation was designed to intercept German U-boat radio messages, warn Allied ships and help US forces attack enemy vessels. All in all the men of station "J" were responsible for locating 60 plus German subs.

Jupiter, Aug 20 2021. I had my Questar 3.5" scope serviced at the Mother Ship in New Hope, PA. It seems to be working nicely, this capture was very simple using the camera in the eyepiece port with the Questar barlow. That's Io moving away from the face having just completed a transit..
