This dramatic view of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its
surroundings was obtained by Voyager 1 on Feb. 25, 1979, when the
spacecraft was 5.7 million miles (9.2 million kilometers) from
Jupiter.  Cloud details as small as 100 miles (160 kilometers)
across can be seen here.  The colorful, wavy cloud pattern to the
left of the Red Spot is a region of extraordinarily complex end
variable wave motion.  The Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the
Voyager mission for NASA's Office of Space Science and
Applications.  This image was converted directly from digital
data to GIF format.
