Imagers capture solar system targets
See all the entries of the 2009 Astroimaging Contest in the Solar System category.
 Jupiter and its satellites Ganymede (left) and Io show lots of detail in this composite image. The photographer took a brief movie through red, green, and blue filters and selected about 1,000 frames from each color to combine to form the final image. To the lower right, orange Io casts its shadow onto Jupiter's cloud tops.
