This image shows an enhanced colour, daytime and stereographic image of Jupiter’s south pole. 

It was imaged by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The oval features are cyclones, up to 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) in diameter.

Jupiter Descending 

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….)

Crescent Moon, Jupiter and four of its moons.
