Amazing images and science of Jupiter, as observed by the New Horizons spacecraft on its way to Pluto.

Included are images of the Oval BA (Red Jr/Little Red Spot), Volcanic Plumes on Io and Jupiter's ring system. There's also a beautiful artistic (rather than scientific) image of Europa rising over Jupiter. Wow, what an image.

Just incredible.. pages like this are why I love imaging Jupiter so much.

Some more amazing gallery images are here (http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/gallery/missionPhotos.html).
