UVS results from Jupiter show the Io torus colder and brighter than the Voyager observations. Aurora near Jupiter’s poles emit 1-4 MR from altitudes of 300 – 400 km. Ganymede and Callisto have extended hydrogen exospheres. The near-UV reflectance of the Galilean satellites shows SO2, magnetospheric alteration, and O3. Remote sensing of Jupiter’s stratospheric haze determines that it thickens and darkens towards higher latitudes.
