The Galilean moons, compared to Earth's Moon
Map of Jupiter's South PoleMap courtesy NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
This map of Jupiter is the most detailed global color map of the planet ever produced. A polar stereographic projection showing Jupiter's south pole in the center of the map and its equator at the edge, the map was constructed from images taken by Cassini in December 2000 as the
spacecraft passed on its way to Saturn.
Jupiter's Great Red SpotPhotograph courtesy NASA
In 1979 Voyager 1 captured this photo of an immense high-pressure storm, called the Great Red Spot,
swirling on Jupiter. Winds blow counterclockwise around the Great Red Spot at about 250 miles (400 kilometers) an hour. The storm is larger than one
Earth diameter from north to south, and more than two Earth diameters from east to west.
New Red Spot on JupiterPhotograph courtesy M. Wong and I. de Pater (University of California, Berkeley)A view of Jupiter taken by Hubble in May 2008 shows a new red spot (far left) on the planet's storm-roiled surface. The new blemish, which appeared in spring of 2006, is significantly smaller than its older siblings, the Great Red Spot (center-right) and Red Spot Jr. Careful study of visible-light images like this one and others taken in near-infrared light suggests that these red spot storms rise high above Jupiter's atmosphere.
Newly erupted lava roils on the surface of Jupiter's moon Io in this false-color image taken on February 22, 2000, by NASA's Galileo spacecraft. The orange-and-yellow ribbon
is a cooling lava flow more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) long.
