Description
Composite of Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, from multiple images captured by the New Horizon spacecraft's Jupiter flyby in early 2007. The image of Jupiter is an infrared color composite, highlighting variations in the altitude of the Jovian cloud tops (blue denotes high-altitude clouds and hazes, and red indicates deeper clouds). The Great Red Spot appears as a bluish-white oval. The image of Io is an approximately true-color composite which shows a major eruption in progress on Io's night side, at the northern volcano Tvashtar. Incandescent lava glows red beneath a volcanic plume, whose uppermost portions are illuminated by sunlight. The plume appears blue due to scattering of light by small particles within it.
