Today marks the 30th anniversary of Voyager 1's flyby of Jupiter. On March 5, 1979, Voyager 1 flew through the Jupiter system providing a wealth of information of Jupiter, its magnetic field, and moons. Thanks to Voyager 1, the Galilean satellites became worlds with real geology and amazing vistas. Voyager 1 also revealed Jupiter's ring system and Io's volcanism for the first time.
I've written up a longer post about the encounter with Io on my blog, which also has an animation of the flyby: http://gishbar.blogspot.com/2009/03/30th-a...1-flyby-of.html -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Here's the official JPL visulization of the Voyager 1 flyby; a contempory computer animation by Jim Blinn with satellite textures by Rick Sternbach (who later went on to work on Star Trek):
