Please read these instructions first: How to view 3D stereoscopic image pairs

Please click on the images below to get the 3D stereo pairs for that image.


This 3D rendering shows Io in front of Jupiter.
The 3D 'camera' was placed 500 000 kilometers from Jupiter.

Io orbits around Jupiter at an average distance of 420 000 kilometers - this means the 'camera' was around 80 000 kilometers from Io itself. This is a wide angle view. (The next 3D image below is seemingly closer (narrow angle) view.


This 3D rendering shows a narrow angle view of Io in front of Jupiter. (It is a close-up of the images above)
The 3D 'camera' was placed 500 000 kilometers from Jupiter.

Io orbits around Jupiter at an average distance of 420 000 kilometers - this means the 'camera' was around 80 000 kilometers from Io itself.



Here are some 3D images of Io itself.


This 3D rendering shows Jupiter with Europa on the left and Io on the right.
The 3D 'camera' was placed exactly one million kilometers from Jupiter.



Here are 3D images of Europa itself.


This 3D rendering shows upiter and 3 of its Galilean moons: The moons visible in this rendering are: from left to right: Europa, Io (to the right of Jupiter) and Ganymede.

The 'camera' was placed 1.5 million kilometers from Jupiter.

The bright area near the top left-hand side of Ganymede is Osiris, a large impact crater surrounded by bright icy material ejected by the impact which created it.

Ganymede is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto and Saturn's largest moon, Titan.




Here are 3D images of Ganymede itself.


This rendering shows what Jupiter and its moons look like from around Callisto - Jupiter's outermost Galilean moon.
Callisto is visible in the foreground.

The 'camera' was placed 2.3 million kilometers from Jupiter. Callisto is around 500 000 kilometers from the 'camera'. Callisto has the darkest surface of the Galilean moons. Its brightness had to be doubled to make it easier to see in this image.

From left to right the other moons in this image are: Europa, Io (to the right of Jupiter) and Ganymede.



Here are some 3D images of Callisto itself.



At this website you will find 3D images of the planet Saturn.
