Jupiter from the Big Eye This image was captured UT May 14, 2006 at 06:46:10, using the wide-field infrared camera (WIRC) with 2um filters under perfect viewing conditions (seeing ~0.6"). The bright "blue" spot in the upper left is the Galilean moon Io transiting across the face of Jupiter. Check out more pix of Jupiter from the Caltech Palomar Image Gallery. |
