PJ9 occurred when the planet was invisible from Earth, but it was possible to produce a complete map of the planet from JunoCam's inbound and outbound images, as projected by Gerald Eichstädt, despite its crescent phase in these images. It shows an exciting new development west of the GRS: a new South Tropical Disturbance. More details, and a 'rolled-forward' version of this map predicting what will be visible at PJ10, are in a report posted on the BAA Jupiter Section web site at: https://britastro.org/node/11779
