  1. A Spacecraft Tour of the Solar System James Zimbelman Center for Earth and Planetary Studies National Air and Space Museum photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov

  2. Opportunity at Sinus Meridiani Driven 33.57 km (20.86 mi) as of 9/7/11 (sol 2709)

  3. Looking inside Endeavour Crater (8/10/11)

  4. The Phoenix Lander, in the northern polar latitudes Image taken by HiRISE camera during Phoenix landing. 10-km-diameter crater Heimdall, 20 km behind Phoenix. (PSP_008579_9020; PIA10705)

  5. (7/10)

  6. NASA/JPL-CalTech/JAXA/ESA (7/18/11) PIA14316

  8. Jupiter Diam. ~11.2E Largest planet “Gas-ball” Dynamic atmosphere Dozens of moons (Galileo, 96)

  9. Io Europa (~3636 km) (~3120 km) Ganymede Callisto (~5268 km) (~4818 km) The Galilean Satellites

  10. Io Diam. = 1.05 M Sulfur! Volcanoes! Active volcanoes! No craters! Reddish poles! (Galileo)

  11. (Galileo)

  12. Europa Diam. = 0.9 M Very bright, icy surface Lots of fractures Global ocean beneath the ice (Galileo)

  13. Ganymede Diam. = 1.5 M Largest moon in SS Bright and dark ice Lots of craters Lots of tectonism White polar caps (Galileo)

  14. Callisto Diam. = 1.4 M Darkest Gal. Sat. LOTS of craters Little tectonism (Galileo)

  15. Saturn Diam. ~9.0E HST (1998) Cassini (2004)

  16. (You are here) Saturn ‘backlit’ by the Sun PIA08329 (9/15/06)
