Only 25 Day From Jupiter

Image Credit, NASA/JPL

This image of Jupiters atmosphere is a composite of 11 images taken once an hour by the LORRI camera of New Horizons, the Pluto-Kupier Belt Mission. In 25 days New Horizons will be at its closest approach to Jupiter, so expect some really good images then. At the moment, this gallery of shots is pretty impresssive.
