Description
Jupiter's faint ring system is shown in this composite photo as two orange lines at left. The Voyager 2 spacecraft took two long-exposure photos in Jupiter's shadow through orange and violet filters, at a range of 1.45 million kilometres from the planet. The colourful lines marking Jupiter's limb are evidence of the spacecraft's motion during the exposures. The lower part of the ring is cut short because of Jupiter's shadow.
