Talk:Jupiter

Orbital parameters

A newer version of [3] is here, but according to this it is still 20 years out of date so there is better data to be found. Zero^talk 02:26, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Better data? Maybe. It's not a minor planet so I suspect the orbit hasn't changed that much. This is an encyclopedia, so we don't need to add an excessive number of digits. I would expect the current values to be good for a long time. Praemonitus (talk) 04:50, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Regardless, the dead link should be replaced by a live link. Zero^talk 08:15, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Proposed image addition: Jupiter (Jupiter-like exoplanets)

Hello, I am affiliated with NOIRLab (user Marcodatadev), so I am proposing this here for review rather than editing the article directly. I am aware this is a Good Article, so I am keeping my suggestion minimal and non-disruptive. The existing content and images would all remain in place; this would simply add one freely licensed image as a modest supporting illustration.

Preview of the proposed image: artist's illustration of magnetic activity around a hot Jupiter, a class of giant exoplanet analogous to Jupiter.

Proposed change: Add a single freely licensed artist's illustration of a hot Jupiter (a giant exoplanet analogous to Jupiter) as a modest supporting image, without removing or altering any existing image. Because it is an illustration rather than a telescopic image, I am suggesting it as a minor, smaller-sized addition rather than a prominent one. Image: File:Artist’s illustration of hot Jupiter with magnetic field (noirlab2614a).tiff Suggested placement: At the end of the "Interaction with the Solar System" section, where the article discusses Jupiter's wider planetary context, complementing the lead's existing mention that Jupiter-like exoplanets have been found in other systems. The "Impacts" subsection already carries the Shoemaker–Levy 9 image, so placing this lower in the section keeps the layout balanced and the existing imagery untouched. Suggested caption: Artist's illustration of magnetic activity around a hot Jupiter, a giant exoplanet analogous to Jupiter. The exact wikitext I suggest is:

Justification: The article notes that Jupiter-like exoplanets have been found in other systems and links to Jupiter analogue, but it currently has no illustration of one. As an artist's impression rather than an observational image, it is best suited to a supporting role at a smaller size, which is why I have set |upright=0.85. The illustration accompanies recent research using the Gemini North telescope and the ESO Very Large Telescope reporting evidence of magnetic fields on ultra-hot Jupiters. The caption is kept descriptive and neutral, with detailed science left to the linked articles.

I am happy to adjust the caption, size, or placement if editors prefer. If the community feels the article is better as it stands, I am happy to withdraw the request. Thank you.

N Declined "Artist's illustration" sounds like a painting of Jupiter when the article only really needs photographs of Jupiter.  Spintendo  14:14, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
