These pictures of Jupiter were taken Friday, Nov. 30, at 3:53 a.m., by the
Pioneer spacecraft at a distance of 3,830,000 km (2,400,000 miles) miles
from the planet.

The image is inverted with the South Pole at top. The familiar colored
bands in the clouds of Jupiter appear slanted because of the viewing angle
of the Imaging Photo Polarimeter which produced the picture.

One aspect of these pictures never seen from Earth is the dark shadow line
between night side and day side. Irregularities in the line may reveal
detail in the Jovian clouds. By Sunday evening, Dec. 21, the images will
surpass, in detail, the best Jupiter pictures taken from Earth.

The views shown here will be enhanced by computer processing at the University
of Arizona. The latter is responsible for the IPP instrument.

Pioneer 10 will reach its point of closest approach to Jupiter, 131,400 km
(83,000 miles) on Dec. 3.
