Storms, Cores, and Moons: Exploring the Jovian System with the Juno Mission
Convener: Dustin Buccino | Co-conveners: Stavros Kotsiaros, Marco Zannoni, Scott Bolton

Since entering orbit nearly 10 years ago in July 2016, the Juno spacecraft at Jupiter unveiled the secrets of Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere, and magnetosphere. Each orbit, Juno gets a close-in view of Jupiter using its suite of instruments. Thanks to Juno’s naturally-precessing elliptical orbit, Juno’s first extended mission allowed for close flybys of the Galilean moons Ganymede, Europa, and Io. The orbit continues to precess northward, allowing for detailed views of Jupiter’s poles, including the powerful aurora and atmospheric features such as the unique, surprisingly stable system of storms surrounding the north pole. Juno continues its exploration of Jupiter itself and its radiation belts, moons and rings. This session welcomes the full range of results from Juno and other Earth-based observations, including modeling studies, laboratory measurements, and other relevant topics for current and upcoming missions Europa Clipper and JUICE to the Jovian system.
