By early February Jupiter loomed too large in the narrow-angle camera to be photographed in one piece; 2 × 2 three-color (violet, orange, green) sets of pictures were taken for the next two weeks; by February 21, Jupiter had grown too large even for that, and 3 × 3 sets were scheduled to begin. When these sets of pictures are pasted together to form a single picture, the result is called a mosaic. [Illustration: By February 1, 1979, Voyager 1 was only 30 million kilometers from Jupiter, and the resolution of the imaging system corresponded to about 600 kilometers at the cloud tops of the giant planet. At this time, a great deal of unexpected complexity became apparent around the Red Spot, and movie sequences clearly showed the cloud motions, including the apparent six-day rotation of the Red Spot. [P-20993C]] [Illustration: One of the most spectacular planetary photographs ever taken was obtained on February 13 as Voyager 1 continued its approach to Jupiter. By this time, at a range of 20 million kilometers, Jupiter loomed too large to fit within a single narrow-angle imaging frame. Passing in front of the planet are the inner two Galilean satellites. Io, on the left, already shows brightly colored patterns on its surface, while Europa, on the right, is a bland ice-covered world. The scale of all of these objects is huge by terrestrial standards; Io and Europa are each the size of our Moon, and the Red Spot is larger than the Earth. [P-21082C]] While the imaging experiments were in the limelight, the other scientific instruments had also begun to concentrate on the Jovian system. The ultraviolet spectrometer had been scanning the region eight times a day; the infrared spectrometer (IRIS) spent 1½ hours a day analyzing infrared emissions from various longitudes in Jupiter’s atmosphere; the planetary radio astronomy and plasma wave instruments looked for radio bursts from Jupiter and for plasma disturbances in the region; the photopolarimeter had begun searching for the edge of Io’s sodium torus; and a watch was begun for the bow shock—the outer boundary of the Jovian magnetosphere. On February 10, Voyager 1 crossed the orbit of Sinope, Jupiter’s outermost satellite. Yet the spacecraft even then had a long way to go—still 23 million kilometers from Jupiter, but closing in on the planet at nearly a million kilometers a day. A week later, targeted photographs of Callisto began to provide coverage of the satellite all around its orbit; similar photos of Ganymede began on February 25.
