Jupiter's Inner Moons
Jupiter's potato-shaped inner moons are lined up in this mosaic 'family portrait.' The images were recorded by NASA's Galileo spacecraft and scaled to the moons' relative sizes. From left to right, in increasing order of distance from Jupiter, are Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, and Thebe. All these moons orbit between Io and Jupiter's rings.
