picture of Jupiter

Description:

A false-color picture of Jupiter by Voyager. The light-colored clouds are rising up from within Jupiter. The dark clouds are descending lower down into the planet. Jupiter has a large, strong magnetic field. Its magnetosphere (the area around the planet that attracts particles because of its magnetic field) is millions of kilometers in diameter.
