Jupiter Unpeeled
This is a color mosaic of Jupiter from the Cassini spacecraft, created by 'unpeeling' its outer cloud layers. It is a single frame from a fourteen-frame movie, compiled from data recorded during Cassini's flyby in late 2000. It shows the atmospheric structure of the solar system's largest planet.
