This "movie" strings 11 images of Jupiter captured by the New Horizons
Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on January 9, 2007, when the
spacecraft was about 80 million kilometers (49.6 million miles) from the
giant planet. The sequence covers a full 10-hour rotation of Jupiter,
during which the moons Ganymede and Io -- as well as the shadows they cast
on Jupiter -- move across the camera's field of view.
