Cover: A cylindrical projection of Jupiter’s atmosphere was made from ten color images taken by Voyager 1 during a single ten-hour rotation of the planet.

A computer-generated mosaic of Voyager 1 pictures showing Jupiter from directly below the south pole. This view shows features as far north as 20 degrees latitude. The black area at the Pole results from missing information.
