Possible expansions

Jupiter in culture is still a possibility. Serendi ^pod ous 20:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhat possible additions could include:
- Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (now that it is not covered in the exploration article anymore)
- Galileo (spacecraft) (covered somewhat in the exploration article)
- Jupiter in fiction (somewhat offtopic but ok inclusion)
- Jupiter (mythology) (within the scope of the culture article)
- Mass of Jupiter (again, within the scope of the culture article)

I know there will be ppl against this, but if there is going to be a moons subtopic then it would include:

the moons article (top)
the Galilean moons article and the 4 moons themselves (not sure if these 5 are going to be kept in both topics)
the inner satellites: Amalthea (2nd next largest after the Galileans); Thebe (4th next largest); Adrastea; Metis (these 4 could form a subtopic)
the irregulars articles: Themisto (moon), Himalia group, Carpo (moon), S/2003 J 12, Ananke group, Carme group, Pasiphaë group and S/2003 J 2

For the last two, separate lead articles may be created instead. Nergaal (talk) 00:28, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
