NEWS & FEATURES
- Jupiter Season is now in Full Swing!
We hope you can join us and observe Jupiter for this season -- the season runs until November 2009. We would like to note that
we have even had success observing Jupiter well after sunrise; the reason is that the Sun is so quiet right now. We will have coordinated observing sessions in the future to help you with you observations. Stay tuned for these announcements.
- February 10th Solar Burst Caught by RJers
A strong type III solar burst was observed by a number of Radio JOVE observers on February 10, 2009 at 18:02Z.
No sunspots were visible on the Sun on that date, but the burst was quite strong at 20 MHz.
