The Hubble telescope took some amazing pictures of Jupiter, 3 of its giant moons (Io, Europa, and Callisto), and their shadows. In addition to their colors, it is even possible to spot some details on the surfaces of the moons. Really fantastic pics.

I love the way that you can see which moons are nearer the planet from the different sharpness of the edges of the shadows
