Io Remix

Io Remix (2012)

 

Even 35 years on, our rugged Voyager spacecraft are poised to make new discoveries as we eagerly await the signs that we've entered interstellar space," Voyager results turned Jupiter and Saturn into full, tumultuous worlds, their moons from faint dots into distinctive places, and gave us our first glimpses of Uranus and Neptune up-close. We can't wait for Voyager to turn our models of the space beyond our sun into the first observations from interstellar space.
--Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena

Another remix now seen by better telescopes.

The photos from Voyager(s) blew my mind as a young adult. For years, I had luminescent shots of Jupiter and Saturn prominently displayed in homes and offices. These were neighbors worth taking the time to get to know.

Both the density and the light became more prominent in the remix. Orginally rendered in XenoDream in 2000, and remixed to the point of eruption.
