These pictures were taken from 01/06 to 02/03, 1979 ; and Voyager 1 flew from 58 million to 31 million kilometers from Jupiter during that time. The small, round, dark spots appearing in some frames are the shadows cast by the moons passing between Jupiter and the Sun, while the small, white flashes around the planet, are the moons themselves.
It's easy for Hubble to take pictures of Jupiter or its moons, but it only gets the chance to capture the planet on cam with three visible Galilean satellites once or twice a decade. That's what ...
A Close-Up Look at Jupiter's Dynamic Atmosphere: Credit/Provider: NASA, ESA, A. Simon (Goddard Space Flight Center), and M.H. Wong (University of California, Berkeley) Short title: Hubble's New Portrait of Jupiter; Image title: Jupiter is the king of the solar system, more massive than all of the other solar-system planets combined.
Jupiter was the first of the Sun's planets to form, and its inward migration during the primordial phase of the Solar System affected much of the formation history of the other planets. Jupiter's atmosphere consists of 76% hydrogen and 24% helium by mass, with a denser interior.
This video uses images from NASA's Juno mission to recreate what it might have looked like to ride along with the Juno spacecraft as it performed its 27th close flyby of Jupiter on June 2, 2020. During the closest approach of this pass, the Juno spacecraft came within approximately 2,100 miles (3,400 kilometers) of Jupiter's cloud tops.
The primary observation target is Jupiter itself, although limited images of some of Jupiter's moons have been taken and more are intended. [5] JunoCam successfully returned detailed images of Ganymede after Juno's flyby on June 7, 2021, [ 6 ] with further opportunities including planned flybys of Europa on September 29, 2022, and two of Io ...
Viral photo posted to social media upon the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn was captured via telescope in Massachusetts, using a special technique. Fact check: Images of Saturn, Jupiter are real ...
