These images are all SIMULATED views. All of the images shown here
are computer generated and are automatically updated every 5 minutes. Clicking on any of the images below will bring up higher resolution versions of the images. All images are shown in spacecraft time (as opposed to Earth receive time). One way light time from Jupiter to Earth is currently
52 minutes. Images generated by Ron Baalke.

Overhead View of Earth & Jupiter
The orbits of the Earth and Jupiter are shown here, and they are moving in a counterclockwise direction. During solar conjunction, the Sun gets in between the Earth and the Galileo spacecraft and severely limits communications with the spacecraft, and data playback has to be suspended.
