This is somewhat off-topic; but you'll recall that it was Jupiter that
allowed Olaus Roemer to first measure the speed of light, by noting the
changes in the apparent eclipse times of Jupiter's moons at various points
in the planet's solar orbit.  Now the giant planet may be about to come
through for us again by allowing the first measurement of the speed of
gravitational fields (and Einstein's prediction that it's the same as
lightspeed):  http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=9178
