High Resolution Globe of Jupiter

This true-color simulated view of Jupiter is composed of 4 images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on Dec. 7, 2000. To illustrate what Jupiter would have looked like if the cameras had a field-of-view large enough to capture the entire planet, the cylindrical map was projected onto a globe. The resolution is about 89 miles (144 kilometers) per pixel. Jupiter's moon Europa is casting the shadow on the planet.
