Taken by the New Horizons spacecraft, Jupiter and its moon Io appear in fantastic detail. Jupiter was captured in three bands of infrared light, causing the Great Red Spot to appear white. Jupiter's complex atmosphere is clearly visible with swirls, stormy ovals, and bands that span the entire planet. In this picture, Io's volcano Tvashtar is clearly active, emitting a sunlight-scattering plume. Below the plume lava is visible.
