Sean and Mike will present an up-to-date talk on our current understanding of this giant planet. Sean will discuss some of the myriad moons of Jupiter, while Mike will cover what we know about the planet itself. With the latest images and most recent scientific data, this lively and well-illustrated talk will give an overview of the largest planet in our solar system.
