TL;DR: Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of planetary astronomy as discussed by the authors, and amateur contributions to the monitoring of planets and interplanetary matter, characterization of asteroids and comets, as well as the determination of the physical properties of Kuiper Belt Objects and exoplanets are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the onset and initial expansion of the 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm (GDS 2018) using ground-based images in the visual range was analyzed, and daily image series showed the storm expanding southwards along the Acidalia corridor with velocities of 5 m/s.

TL;DR: Fenton et al. as discussed by the authors reported on the long-term evolution of the sixth Great White Spot (GWS) event that initiated at northern mid-latitudes of the planet on December 5th, 2010.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the statistical significance of these events in the large pool of Jupiter observations and showed that the flashes are caused by impacting objects that they characterize in terms of their size, and they studied the flux of small impacts on Jupiter.

TL;DR: Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy as discussed by the authors, where amateur contributions to the monitoring of planets and interplanetary matter, characterization of asteroids and comets, as well as the determination of the physical properties of Kuiper Belt Objects and exoplanets are discussed.
