IMAGE 200_299\283.Lbm,Through a powerful telescope on Earth Jupiter appears colourful and marked with prominent bands. The Great Red Spot can just be made out in the southern hemisphere.
IMAGE 1000_99\59.Lbm,Despite inherent design flaws, the Hubble space telescope soon begins returning excellent images of the heavens, such as this picture of the giant planet Jupiter.
IMAGE 200_299\244.Lbm,This Voyager 1 photomontage shows Jupiter and its four large Galilean moons, which are (from the top): Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
IMAGE 100_199\182.Lbm,The multihued surface of giant Jupiter, pictured by the Voyager 1 probe in February 1979. Also visible are two moons: Io, over the Great Red Spot, and Europa.
IMAGE 500_599\597.Lbm,One of the many huge storm centres in Jupiter's thick atmosphere, pictured by Voyager 2. It is close to the planet's famous Great Red Spot.
IMAGE 100_199\102.Lbm,Pioneer 10 took this picture of Jupiter's Great Red Spot in December 1973, which shows greater detail than any telescope photograph.
IMAGE 200_299\242.Lbm,Jupiter's stormy and vividly coloured atmosphere, pictured by Voyager 2. The Great Red Spot and other oval features are storm centres.
IMAGE 200_299\243.Lbm,A Voyager close-up of the Jupiter's Great Red Spot, in which the clouds rotate anticlockwise about once every six days.
IMAGE 700_799\736.Lbm,The atmosphere of Jupiter is vividly coloured and marked by bands of clouds and furious winds. The Great Red Spot and nearby White Oval are gigantic storm centres. (Voyager 2)
IMAGE 100_199\113.Lbm,In June 1979 Voyager 2 spied the ring around Jupiter discovered by its sister craft Voyager 1.
IMAGE 100_199\164.Lbm,Jupiter's moon Io, one of the most colourful bodies in the Solar System, pictured by the Voyager 1 probe in March 1979.
IMAGE 200_299\247.Lbm,Jupiter's moon Io was nicknamed the "pizza moon" because of its vivid colour and markings (Voyager 1 photo), which are probably due to flows of molten sulphur.
IMAGE 500_599\585.Lbm,Jupiter's gaudy coloured moon Io has active volcanoes spewing out sulphur, which accounts for its vivid colour. (Voyager 2)
IMAGE 100_199\141.Lbm,In early July 1979 Voyager 1 takes close-up pictures of Callisto, one of Jupiter's four large moons. This photomosaic shows the moon peppered with craters, many of them fresh.
IMAGE 700_799\728.Lbm,Jupiter's moon Callisto, from a distance of about 2.3 million km. The bright spots are recent meteorite impact craters. (Voyager 2)
IMAGE 200_299\245.Lbm,Jupiter's moon Europa (Voyager 2 photo) shows strange markings on its icy surface.
IMAGE 200_299\246.Lbm,The surface of Jupiter's second largest moon, Callisto (Voyager 1 photo), shows fresh white icy craters.
IMAGE 700_799\737.Lbm,A mosaic of Voyager 2 images showing details of the surface of Ganymede, Jupiter's largest satellite. The largest crater is about 150 km across.
*IMAGE 1300_99\384.Lbm,Ulysses flies by Jupiter 16 months after launch and right on target. It uses Jupiter's powerful gravity to deflect it into an orbit that will take it out of the plane of the planets' orbits and 'below' the south polar region of the Sun.
