Bye-Bye Jupiter (さよならジュピター,   Sayonara Jupitā, lit. Goodbye Jupiter) is a 1984 tokusatsu film produced by Toho. It was released to Japanese theaters on March 17, 1984.

Description

The following synopsis is taken from the back cover of Discotek's 2007 DVD release of the film:

"In the 22nd Century, the United Earth Federation has begun colonizing neighboring planets in the solar system. While attempting to extract water from Mars' polar ice caps, a UEF science team uncovers ancient carvings that describe the crash of an alien spacecraft on the planet Jupiter several millennia ago. The discovery postpones the initial phase of the Jupiter Solarization Project, a plan to transform the gas giant into a second sun, providing both additional solar energy for Earth and making the outer worlds fit for colonization. From Minerva Station in the orbit of Jupiter, Dr. Eiji Honda is dispatched to ensure that alien life does not exist on Jupiter before the planned mission is to commence.

When scientists discover that a black hole is approaching the solar system, Earth's only hope is to abandon the Solarization Project and instead send Jupiter into the black hole. Dr. Honda must race to complete the new mission before time runs out!"
