![]() SRU images from Juno’s Prime Mission led to multiple discoveries within the Jovian system, inspiring new objectives that the orbit’s evolution will soon put within reach. Juno’s low-light sensitive Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) navigation camera has embarked on Juno’s Extended Mission as a full-fledged member of the science payload. The session also welcomes remote observations acquired in support of Juno, and discussions of formation scenarios and evolutionary pathways of planetary bodies in our Solar System and beyond. This session welcomes contributions on a wide variety of topics regarding Jupiter and other giant planets in general: gravity and magnetic field analysis and interpretation, giant planet magnetospheres, aurorae, radiation environments, atmospheric dynamics, planet interiors and the Galilean satellites. Juno’s results on Jupiter also provide key insights important for our understanding of exoplanet systems. The Juno results when combined with data sets from previous missions and ground based observations is providing a new opportunity for the study of comparative planetology. The Juno mission is providing crucial new data sets addressing Jupiter's origin, interior, atmosphere, satellites, rings and magnetosphere that challenge current theories of formation, evolution and dynamics of both Jupiter and giant planets in general. ![]()
