International Jupiter Watch

The International Outer Planet Watch, ex-"International Jupiter Watch" (IOPW) is an informal organization of astronomers and planetary scientists devoted to coordinating and encouraging observations in the outer planets from the Earth and from space, with an emphasis on time-variable phenomena. Support of the Galileo mission to Jupiter has been an important goal.
