JUPITER Here are some recent images taken by UNH instructor, John S. Gianforte. 
Jupiter will be at opposition on Friday, August 14th. 
The night before the August 15th public session at the UNH Observatory. 
This means that it will be nice object to view for the rest of the summer and into the fall. 
These images were taken just 30 hours before a comet recently struck Jupiter.
