Gas giants

Passing “behind” Jupiter: Blocking and bending the radio signal allows for a more precise measurement of the planet’s shape.

New measurements shrink Jupiter: The giant planet is smaller and flatter than we thought

Analysis of 26 radio measurements from the Juno mission, when the spacecraft passed behind Jupiter, found that the planet is about 8 km narrow at the equator and about 24 km flat at the poles – a change that refines models of the internal structure and winds.
