Radio JOVE Mourns Passing of Dr. Ron Parise

Dr. Ronald A. Parise, one of the original Radio JOVE Project team members and a long-time friend and colleague of many of those on the Project, lost his battle with cancer on May 9, 2008. Ron helped guide Radio JOVE in its early years and developed the first dedicated software for it. Many will remember Ron for his role as payload specialist on Space Shuttle missions STS-35 and STS-67 where he conducted important ultraviolet astronomical observations with the ASTRO-1 and ASTRO-2 payloads.

Our hearts are heavy with this sad news here at Radio JOVE.

The 2008 Jupiter Observing Season is Here

The current Jupiter observing season began in early February 2008. See our Storm Predictions page for the best dates/times to observe.

The JOVE team will occasionally hold free teleconference coordinated observing sessions to assist observers and for participants to compare observing notes in real time. E-mail notifications will be sent out with the schedule of telecons. Please join in.

Don't forget - you can also listen for solar bursts on any day with your Radio JOVE telescope.
