Summary

Description
English: Jupiter seen by Voyager 1 probe with blue filter. One image was taken every Jupiter day (approximately 10 hours). These pictures were taken from 01/06 to 02/03, 1979 ; and Voyager 1 flew from 58 million to 31 million kilometers from Jupiter during that time. The small, round, dark spots appearing in some frames are the shadows cast by the moons passing between Jupiter and the Sun, while the small, white flashes around the planet, are the moons themselves.


Suggested for English Wikipedia:alternative text for images: animated view of planet getting larger. These pictures were taken every 10 hours over 28 days in 1979; each frame shows Jupiter at the same local time with the Great Red Spot appearing stationary within its cloud belt while clouds move right to left past it; other cloud belts move left to right. The small, round, dark spots appearing in some frames are the shadows cast by the moons passing between Jupiter and the Sun, while the small, white flashes around the planet, are the moons themselves.
日本語: ボイジャー1号から見える木星である。毎木星の日(約１０時間）１つのコマがとられた。写真は全部１９７９年１月６日から２月３日でとられた。
Polski: Jowisz widziany przez sondę Voyager 1 przy użyciu niebieskiego filtra. Fotografie zostały zrobione co 10 godzin (jeden dzień jowiszowy) od 6 stycznia do 3 lutego 1979 roku; kiedy Voyager 1 zmniejszył dystans od Jowisza z 58 mln do 38 mln km. Małe, okrągłe obszary pojawiające się na niektórych zdjęciach są cieniami rzucanymi przez księżyce przechodzące między Jowiszem i Słońcem, a niewielkie jasne błyski dookoła planety są owymi księżycami.
Українська: Вигляд Юпітера при спостереженні з космічної станції Вояджер-1 застосовуючи синій фільтр. Послідовність зображеннь, де перерва між знімками становить біля 10 годин, отримана на протязі 28 днів 1979 р. (з 6 січня по 3 лютого), коли Вояджер-1 пролітав на відстані 58 - 31 мільйонів кілометрів від поверхні Юпітера. Малі, круглі, темні плями є тінню від юпітеріанських супутників, яку добре видно на освітленому тлі планети, в той час як білі плями є власне супутниками, які попадають в поле зору Вояджера-1, пролітаючи між ним та планетою.

Ces image ont été acquises entre le 6 janvier et le 3 février 1979 à raison d'une image par jour jovien (10 h environ). Durant cette période, Voyager 1 s'est rapproché de Jupiter de 58 à 31 millions de km. Les petits points noirs visibles de temps à autres sont des ombres portées par les satellites joviens sur la surface de la planète. Les taches blanches dans le ciel sont les satellites eux-mêmes.
