Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Jupiter from Cassini

 
An image of planet Jupiter, created from several up-close images taken by the Cassini spacecraft when it flew by on December 30, 2000. It is the most detailed image of the planet ever taken.

This is an excellent representation of the Solar System's largest planet. The detailing is exquisite. It was taken by the Cassini spacecraft, and is a NASA public domain license. It currently appears in the Jupiter article, as well as several articles related to Cassini-Huygens.

The original version was upload by Awolf002. A larger version was uploaded later by Deglr6328. The current version, even larger with a lot of black border cropped off, derived from the original high-resolution TIFF base file, was uploaded by Dbenbenn.
