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!

High resolution mosaic from Voyager 1. Resolution is around 3.5 km/pix. Color is from CH4_JS, clear and orange filter.

Great work! If I might suggest something, flat fielding the images would get rid of the bright corners in the images.

Great work! If I might suggest something, flat fielding the images would get rid of the bright corners in the images. Thanks! I used only the dark frame subtract from these images. Flat fields (which I have) cause partially destruction of the details. Normally I use the images from dark side of Neptune or Saturn. Yesterday I downloaded the plaque images, but I don't see any advances over the dark side images. Maybe the problem is in the setup, so I'm still trying new procedures. -------------------- |
