#PPOD: This is a montage of New Horizons images of Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, taken during the spacecraft’s Jupiter flyby in early 2007. The Jupiter image is an infrared color composite taken by the spacecraft’s near-infrared imaging spectrometer on Feb. 28, 2007. The infrared wavelengths used highlight variations in the altitude of the Jovian cloud tops, with blue denoting high-altitude clouds and hazes, and red indicating deeper clouds. Credit: NASA/JHUAPL

Image of the gas giant planet Jupiter, one-third lit from the left, taken in the infrared and showing the Great Red Spot in white. On the right-side of the planet, in front of the night side, Jupiter's innermost Galilean moon Io can be seen, also one-third lit from the left. Just to the right of the north pole is a light blue glow showing the eruption of the volcano Tvashtar.
