Why is it important?
The Jupiter system has more mass than all the other planets in our Solar System combined, and we are fortunate that Jupiter is situated relatively close to Earth, making detailed observations possible.
Perspectives
It is interesting to compare the choice of subjects in broad-brush reviews of planetary objects such as this, as the decades of planetary exploration unfold.
