Jupiter - Voyager 1

East of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter

Jupiter
This image of the area on Jupiter just east of the Great Red Spot was taken on 4 March 1979, one day before Voyager 1's closest approach to Jupiter, from a distance of 1,800,000 km. The eastern edge of the Great Red Spot can be seen at the lower left. The turbulent area right of this is associated with the circulation and shear of the Great Red Spot and the atmosphere. The frame is roughly 12,000 km across and the smallest reature that can be resolved is about 30 km. North is up. (Voyager 1, P-21231)
