New Horizons passes Jupiter
New Horizons gives more images of the Jovian sytem on its way to Pluto
Quote:
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has provided new data on the Jupiter system *-- stunning scientists with never-before-seen perspectives of the giant planet’s atmosphere, rings, moons and magnetosphere.
These new views include the closest peek yet at the Earth-sized “Little Red Spot” storm churning materials through Jupiter’s cloud tops; detailed images of small satellites herding dust and boulders through Jupiter’s faint rings; and of volcanic eruptions and circular grooves on the planet’s largest moons.
