About the picture

This colour map of Jupiter, actually, was constructed from images captured by the narrow-angle camera onboard the Cassini spacecraft on December 11 and 12, 2000, as it approached the giant planet while on its way to Saturn.

According to Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which used to operate the Cassini spacecraft, “It is the most detailed global colour maps of Jupiter ever produced; the smallest visible features are about 120 kilometers across.”
