The Galileo Probe sampled Jupiter's atmosphere at the edge of a 5-µm hot spot, where it found very little cloud opacity above the 700 mb level. Only τ = 1-2 at λ = 0.5 µm was inferred from Net Flux Radiometer observations (Sromovsky et al. 1998, J. Geophys. Res. 103, 22,929-22,977), in seeming confl

On 11-12 August 1998, we imaged Neptune using the Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 CCD camera and NICMOS InSb camera to obtain high-spatial-resolution, absolutely calibrated imagery from the visible through the near infrared. We used nine HST orbits to intensively sample one rotation of Neptune, and fou

A reanalysis of Galileo images of Jupiter's Equatorial Zone obtained in 1999 and 2001 reveals the presence of trains of cloud bands, probably generated by gravity waves, similar to those seen in Voyager 1 and 2 (1979) and New Horizons (2007) images. No such waves have been found in a similar analysi

We searched the COBE DIRBE Sky and Zodi Atlas for a wake of dust trailing Mars and for Trojan dust near Jupiter's L5 Lagrange point. We compare the DIRBE images to a model Mars wake based on the empirical model of Earth's wake as seen by the DIRBE and place a 3-σ upper limit on the fractional overde
