| Description: Jupiter’s Ring and Torus (b) A portion of Jupiter’s faint ring system, photographed by the New Horizons spacecraft heading to Pluto. The outer three bright rings are composed of pebble- to rock-sized fragments. The rest is mostly dust. The brightest portion of the ring is about 6000 km wide. While the outer edge of the ring is sharply defined, the inner edge is somewhat fuzzy. A tenuous sheet of material extends from the ring’s inner edge all the way down to the planet’s cloud tops Picture Stats: Views: 613 Filesize: 212.81kB Height: 371 Width: 1350 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=16355 |
