Thanks for the nice comments, folks.

Quick quezzie: In the written detail below the Jupiter image what does "P" stand for, just above "D", which I assume is diameter?
Matt, you're right, D is Diameter.
P is for "Phase", because we're approaching opposition there's still a slight phase to the planet as seen from Earth. You can see a slight shadow effect on the left hand side of the image above.
