...These provide the best visibility of stratospheric aerosols and potential UV auroral phenomena (as observed at Jupiter; Porco et al. 2003), and may aid discrimination of satellite and ring surface materials of special interest such as carbonaceous materials (Wagner et al., 1987)....

...In contrast, ISS can image the aurora in visible light on the night side of the planet, and with much higher spatial resolution, than HST; it did so at Jupiter (Porco et al., 2003)....

...Multi-spectral, spatial mosiacs are acquired at several time steps, following a particular feature from day side to night side as was done by Galileo and Cassini at Jupiter (Little et al., 1999; Gierasch et al., 2000; Porco et al., 2003)....

...…will allow us to extend our knowledge of the jet structure on Saturn farther poleward than was possible with Voyager, just as we did on Jupiter (Porco et al., 2003), though observations of the north pole will not take place until after the nominal 4-year mission when that pole is finally…...

...Cassini observations of the jovian ring taken alone (Porco et al., 2003) and in combination with other spacecraft and Earth-based observations of the ring (Throop et al., 2004) have indicated that irregularly shaped, small (µm-sized) particles are more likely than spherical Mie scattering…...
