Jupiter’s Surface Looks Like It Came From A Dream

In this composite image from near-infrared light, two of Jupiter’s moons are visible against the planet. The white circle in the middle of Jupiter is Io, and the blue circle at upper right is Ganymede. The three black spots are shadows cast by Io, Ganymede, and another moon, Callisto.

CGI renderings of Jupiter, ‘King of the Planets’

The largest planet in the Solar System, likely the first planet to form after the Sun did, continues to dominate over the System with its almost 80 moons and immensely steep and influential gravity well.

This ultraviolet Hubble movie shows the ring aurora on Jupiter and the silhouette and shadow of its moon Europa. You can also see the magnetic footprint of Io, just ahead of the aurora.

Io transiting Jupiter, photographed by Voyager 1, 31 January 1979.  South is up, which is why the Great Red Spot’s in the upper hemisphere.

(As with yesterday’s gif, I’m not fully certain I’ve identified the moon correctly: it looks like Io to me, and the orbital speed seems about right, but for the life of me I can’t get HORIZONS to agree with the pictures: at the time of the first frame (C1541036), my spreadsheet tells me that none of the Galilean moons should even be in the frame.  The problem’s fixed if I pretend that the z-coordinate of every position is zero, but that’s cheating….)
