PIX4574942: Infrared Jupiter seen by the New Horizons probe. - Jupiter seen by New Horizons spacecraft - View of Jupiter obtained on February 28, 2007 by the New Horizons probe. This infrared image shows the different altitudes of the Jovian clouds; in blue, the high altitudes clouds, in red, the lower clouds. Jupiter seen by New Horizons spacecraft during the Jupiter flyby in early 2007. This image is an infrared color composite taken by the spacecraft's near - infrared imaging spectrometer, the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) at 1:40 UT on Feb. 28, 2007. The infrared wavelengths used (red: 1.59 um, green: 1.94 um, blue: 1.85 um) highlight variations in the altitude of the Jovian cloud tops, with blue denoting high - altitude clouds and hazes, and red indicating deeper clouds. The prominent bluish - white oval is the Great Red Spot. The observation was made at a solar phase angle of 75 degrees but has been projected onto a crescent to remove distortion caused by Jupiter's rotation during the scan / Bridgeman Images
PIX4575008: Clouds of Jupiter - Illustration - Jupiter's cloud tops at night - Illustration - Artist view of Jupiter's cloud summit. Above all, the Io and Europe satellites. This vantage point is from the same altitude as Jupiter's highest clouds where the atmospheric pressure is just a few millibars, about the same as that on the surface of Mars. High in the starry sky can be seen two of Jupiter's largest satellites - - volcanic Io and icy Europa. The scanty ether here gives little clue to the gargantuan pressures and tornado - force winds below. A giant lightning bolt passes between cloud layers driven by a 300 mph gale. Beneath the clouds lies a turbulent realm of molecular hydrogen and helium. Go deeper yet and this atmosphere eventually gives way to a deep, planet - wide ocean of liquid hydrogen / Bridgeman Images
