File Format: Jupiter.jpg - Full colour 1800x900 JPG file, 297K. Radius (1 km = 1 POV unit): 71,400 km NOTES: Jupiter's ring system is extremely faint and not usually visible (the exposure time on the Voyager images that contained rings was very long) - generally, they should not be rendered at all. However, if you should need to render them it is best to use discs with the following radii:
Main Ring (middle): Inner radius 122,808 km; Outer radius 129,234 km. Gossamer Ring (outermost): Inner radius 129,234 km; Outer radius 214,200 km. Again, all three rings are usually invisible - only the Main Ring is solid enough to be visible even on 'long-exposure' images. The Halo and Gossamer rings are extremely tenuous and are only really visible near the Main Ring. |
