Jupitar and moon Io.

A global map of Jupiter’s moon Io derived from eight images taken by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on the New Horizons spacecraft, as it passed Jupiter on its way to Pluto in late February 2007. Details as small as 12 kilometers (7 miles) are visible. The map shows the comprehensive picture of Io’s volcanism obtained by New Horizons. Yellow ovals denote areas with new, faded or shifted plume deposits since the last images taken by the Galileo spacecraft in 2001. Green circles denote areas where probable new lava flows have occurred. Cyan diamonds indicate locations of active volcanic plumes, and orange hexagons are volcanic hot spots detected by the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) instrument. For plumes and hot spots, symbol size indicates the approximate relative size and brightness of the features.

This image, which is a composite of images taken in several colors by the New Horizons Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC), illustrates the remarkable diversity of structures in Jupiter's atmosphere. The image, whose colors are similar to what a voyager on New Horizons would see, is taken near the terminator, the boundary between day and night, and shows relatively small-scale turbulent polar structures as well as deep holes in the clouds and extended zonal structures at other latitudes. Data obtained from these and other New Horizons images taken during the encounter will provide valuable insight into the processes occurring on this gas giant.
