A Jupiter-Io Montage from New Horizons
The New Horizons spacecraft captured this view of Jupiter and its moon Io during a 2007 flyby. Jupiter is shown in infrared light, making its Great Red Spot appear white. Io, digitally superimposed, shows a volcanic plume erupting from its surface. This composite highlights the dynamic nature of the Jovian system.
