In the From the Vault (http://www.mikesalway.com.au/tag/from-the-vault) series, I feature an older image which hasn’t been seen on my site before and I talk about the capture and processing and hopefully highlight why this image is special to me.

The feature image in From the Vault this week shows a Dynamic Jupiter in Motion with an image montage and a 21-frame animation bringing Jupiter alive and is something you must see! You can watch Ganymede and Europa transit across the face of Jupiter, the GRS rotate into view, and the volcanic moon Io pop out from behind Jupiter in the last few frames. Albedo features on Ganymede are visible in practically every frame, including while transiting Jupiter, and icey Europa actually reveals its crescent phase while contrasted against the backdrop of the gas giant.

See the images and animation, and read about my capture and processing here:

Thats fantastic stuff, Mike. Those moons just look sensational. Well done. On the animation, way down on bottom left there is a black spot about to appear - then Joops changes direction:D What is it???
