Abstract
“We now come to a much more magnificent planet, Jupiter, the largest of them all …” So wrote Sir John Herschel in A Treatise on Astronomy1. Now, after a decade in which space programmes have concentrated on the inner planets, a spacecraft has been sent to Jupiter. This article describes how the data sent back are changing our ideas about the planet.
