Photo Artwork composite by JPL This depiction of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter is shown from several perspectives. IMAGE B shows the perspective from Galileo spacecraft which can observe the impact point directly. For visual appeal, most of the large cometary fragments are shown close to one another in this image. At the time of Jupiter impact, the fragments will be separated from one another by serveral times the distances shown. This image was created by D.A. Seal of JPL's Mission Design Section using orbital computations provIded by P.W. Chodas and D.K. Yeomans of JPL's Navigation Section. ARC-1994-AC94-0353-2B

Photo by Peter McGregor Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter; impact of Fragment G of Comet Shoemaker-Levy on Jupiter. The fireball is seen 12 minutes after impact at 2.34 microns. The impact A site is seen on the oposite limb of the planet. Image at 2.34 microns with CASPIR by Peter McGregor ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring. (JPL Ref; P-44419) ARC-1994-AC94-0353-3

Composite Pioneer 10 imagery Excitement rose as the PICS displayed images of Jupiter of ever-increasing size as Pioneer 10 plunged at high speed toward its closest approach to the planet. The most dramatic moment was perhaps after closest approach and after the spacecraft has been hidden behind Jupiter. PICS (Pioneer Image Converter System) began to show a few spots on the screens, which gradually built up into a very distorted crescent-shaped Jupiter. 'Sunrise on Jupiter,' exclaimed an experimenter excitedly. 'We've made it safely through periapsis.' Subsequent PICS images were of a crescent Jupiter gradually decreasing in size as the spacecraft sped away out of the Jovian system. Note: used in NASA SP-349 'Pioneer Odyssey - Encounter with a Giant' fig. 5-15 and SP-446 ' Pioneer - First to Jupiter, Saturn, and Beyond' fig. 5-16. ARC-1973-AC73-9341

Range : 1,450,000 km. ( 900,000 miles ) Jupiter's faint ring system is shown here as two orange lines protrude from the left toward Jupiter's limb. This colorful composite was taken in Jupiter's shadow through orange and violet filters. The colorful images of Jupiter's limb are evidence of the spacecraft motion dering this long exposure. Voyager 2 was about 2 degrees below the plane of the ring when this was shot, leaving the lower ring image cut short by Jupiter's shadow on the ring. (JPL ref No. P-21779) ARC-1979-AC79-7117

Range :12.2 million kilometers (7.6 million miles) The view in this photo shows Jupiter's Great Red Spot emerging from the five-hour Jovian night. One of the three bright, oval clouds which were observed to form approximately 40 years ago can be seen immediately below the Red Spot. Most of the other features appearing in this view are too small to be seen clearly from Earth. The color picture was assembled from three black and white photos in the Image Processing Lab at JPL.

Staff Sgt. Craig Cox makes a final check on a cargo of supplies to be dropped from a C-141B Starlifter aircraft over the South Pole. The drop is a joint U.S./New Zealand operation to resupply both South Pole and McMurdo Stations in Antarctica. The operation is being staged from Det. 2, 619th Military Airlift Support Squadron, at the New Zealand International Airport
