Summary

Description
English: This image was taken by the MOC at 00:52:47 UT on 14 April 1993. It contains a portion of the disk of Jupiter and the two satellites Europa and Ganymede. The planet and satellites are somewhat blurred because the MOC was still being focused (via its active focus control heaters) at this time.

Like all images taken before the far-encounter images of Mars, this image was taken when Jupiter happened to pass through the MOC field of view as the spacecraft rotated in its cruise configuration, with the high-gain antenna pointed at Earth. This resulted in fairly narrow time windows when specific targets could be imaged; Jupiter was just exiting the field of view of the MOC when this image was taken.
