Jupiter. Artwork of the gas giant planet Jupiter and two of its moons
Jupiter. Artwork of the gas giant planet Jupiter and two of its moons. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter over 11 times that of Earth. Two of its Galilean moons are seen here, Io (centre left) and Europa (upper right). The Great Red Spot, an enormous storm system, is seen at centre right. At centre left, on the night side of Jupiter, red flashes of lightning can be seen. Jupiter mainly comprises gaseous hydrogen and helium, with traces of ammonia, water vapour and methane. These trace gases are thought to contribute to the colours of its cloud bands

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System. With a diameter over 11 times that of Earth, Jupiter is truly a colossal gas giant. The artwork showcases not only the planet itself but also two of its remarkable moons, Io and Europa. Intriguingly, at the center right of this image lies the Great Red Spot, an enormous storm system that has been raging for centuries. Its swirling crimson hues stand out against Jupiter's mesmerizing cloud bands, which are believed to be influenced by trace gases such as ammonia, water vapor, and methane. As we gaze towards the night side of Jupiter on the left-hand side of this print, flashes of red lightning illuminate its dark expanse. These captivating bolts remind us that even in space's vastness, nature's forces can still unleash their power. This illustration serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe. It invites us to delve into cosmology and explore celestial wonders beyond our own blue planet. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this extraordinary scene from afar – a reminder that there is so much more waiting to be discovered in the depths of space.
