Abstract:

We are using the newly implemented adaptive optics system on the
10-m Keck  telescope in Hawaii to observe planets and satellites in our
Solar system. We complent these AO images with data at mid-IR (8-20
micron) wavelengths. The  AO images are very sharp, and are directly
comparable with images obtained at visible wavelengths with the  Hubble
Space telescope (Keck images are 4 times better than HST images at 
infrared wavelengths). I will concentrate the talk on Io with its
spectacular volcanic activity, and  Titan, showing images of its surface
(hydrocarbon oceans??), troposphere and  startospheric layers.
