09 Gemini on Jupiter
Play • 26 min

In episode 9 of the GEMMA podcast, GEMMA intern Odysseus Quarles interviews Michael Wong, a planetary scientist at the University of California Berkeley. Wong is the PI for the recent Jupiter observations done at Gemini North in conjunction with the Hubble Space telescope and the Juno probe. In this episode, we discuss solar system astronomy in a multi-messenger context, and how Gemini’s capabilities were uniquely suited to the task. We then discuss some of the interesting results from Wong’s observations, including “holes” in the Great Red Spot, and lightning source regions.
