ARC-1979-A79-7108
Range: 1.5 million km ( 930,000 miles ) This high resolution view of Jupitor's ring, part of a set obtained by Voyager 2 (A79-7101), suggests that it may be divided into several components, as are the rings of Saturn. The ring was unexpectedly bright, due to forward scattering of sunlight by small ring particles. The rings were discovered 4 months ago by Voyager 1. The 'V' shaped figure to the left is caused by a star image which was trailed out as the camera moved slightly during the long exposure.
