Title:[0319] Jupiter and its Galilean satellites
Caption:Jupiter and its four planet-sized moons, called the Galilean satellites, were photographed in early March 1979 by Voyager 1 and assembled into this collage. They are not to scale but are in their relative positions. Reddish Io (upper left) is nearest Jupiter; then Europa (center); Ganymede and Callisto (lower right). Twelve other smaller satellites circle Jupiter, four inside Io's orbit and the others millions of miles from the planet. Not visible is Jupiter's faint ring of particles, seen for the first time by Voyager 1.

Title:[3031] Infrared image of Jupiter, its rings and inner moons
Caption:A sequence of infrared images of Jupiter taken through a filter to suppress glare from the planet and enhance detection of the rings and faint inner satellites. The six images, running from upper left to lower right, cover a period of about 2 hours, during which the rotation of the planet and the orbital motion of two satellites can be seen. Metis is first seen in the second image and the brighter Amalthea first appears in the third image.
