Jupiter's Rings
Astronomers using NASA's Voyager spacecraft discovered these faint rings around Jupiter in 1979. Unlike Saturn's bright rings, which are made of rock and ice, Jupiter's rings appear to consist of fine dust particles. One possibility is that the dust is produced by impacts with Jupiter's inner moons. This false-color image has been computer-enhanced.
