Phenomenal pics, in a nice presentation format. You Aussie chaps have had Jupiter for 5 years, you will relinquish your hold on it now for your Northern pals. In April of 2004 I watched Jupiter for several hours as five! things crossed the face. (Three shadows of moons, and two moons.)
Wow. I was going to make some silly joke about it being CGI. You know me, always keeping it serious, right? But, once I scrolled maybe halfway down the page, I was pretty much speechless. That's really amazing. Especially seeing Europa up close and personal like that! How cool was that?!
Bah, it looks all beautiful until you get there and encounter the local skeevy tourist traps littered everywhere and moon size mounds of trash. If it weren't for those holographic clouds hiding the mess nobody would go near that place.
If it weren't for the intense radiation Jupiter is emitting, it would be a nice place to go on an extended holiday. I just hope someone gets their act for a Europe probe together, with the goal of melting through the ice and exploring the hypothetical ocean underneath. And finally finding life outside of earths biosphere. Like, before I die.

Satan bless science!
But am guessing that would need the probes to come home. Sending that much data directly from space might not be feasible yet.
In all Space needs more PR and marketing.
