| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | Jupiter |
| Object Description | Planet |
| Distance | The semi-major axis of Jupiter's orbit about the Sun is 5.2 astronomical units (483 million miles or 778 million km). |
| Dimensions | The planet has a diameter of roughly 88,789 miles (142,984 km) at the equator. |
| About The Data | |
| Data Description | The image was created from Hubble data from proposals and : H. Hammel (Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.), A. Simon-Miller (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center), J. Clarke (Boston University), I. de Pater (University of California, Berkeley), K. Noll (STScI), G. Orton (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), A. Sanchez-Lavega (University of the Basque Country, Spain), and M. Wong (University of California, Berkley); and proposal : I. de Pater, P. Marcus, X. Asay-Davis, and M.

| Instrument | HST>WFC3/UVIS |
| Exposure Dates | August 8, 2009 |
| Filters | FQ437N (437 nm), Q508N (508nm), and FQ634N (634 nm) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: FQ437N (437 nm) Green: Q508N (508nm) Red: FQ634N (634 nm) |
