Jupiter, from New Horizons
Caption NASA:"This image of Jupiter is produced from a 2x2 mosaic of photos taken by the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI), and assembled by the LORRI Team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. 
The telescopic camera snapped the images during a 3', 35" span on February 10, 2007, when the spacecraft was about 29 MKM (approx. 18 MMs) from Jupiter. 
At this distance, Jupiter's diameter was 1015 LORRI pixels - nearly filling the imager's entire (1,024-by-1,024 pixel) field of view. 
Features as small as 290 Km (about 180 miles) are visible.

Both the Great Red Spot and Little Red Spot are visible in the image, on the left and lower right, respectively. The apparent "storm" on the Planet's right limb is a section of the South Tropical Zone that has been detached from the Region to its West (or left) by a "disturbance" that scientists and amateur astronomers are watching closely.

At the time LORRI took these images, New Horizons was 820 million kilometers (510 million miles) from home - nearly 5½ times the distance between the Sun and Earth. This is the last full-disk image of Jupiter LORRI will produce, since Jupiter is appearing larger as New Horizons draws closer, and the imager will start to focus on specific areas of the planet for higher-resolution studies".
