Jupiter - Voyager 1

Looking Back to a Crescent Jupiter

Jupiter
This image of Jupiter was taken looking back almost three weeks after the 5 March closest approach. The Great Red Spot can be seen at lower right. Three images were taken through different filters and combined to give this view. Voyager 1 was roughly 30 million km away when this image was taken. Jupiter is 71,492 km in diameter and north is at 12:00. (Voyager 1, IPL-260668)
