European Space Agency recently released some images taken by Cassini Satellite, shows real Jupiter very Close..!!
This true-colour simulated view of Jupiter is composed of 4 images
taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on 7 December 2000. To illustrate
what Jupiter would have looked like if the cameras had a field-of-view
large enough to capture the entire planet, the cylindrical map was
projected onto a globe. The resolution of the high resolution image is
about 144 kilometres per pixel. Jupiter's moon Europa is casting the
shadow on the planet.
Title - Cassini’s view of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere.
This Cassini image shows Jupiter from an unusual perspective. If you
were to float just beneath the giant planet and look directly up, you
would be greeted with this striking sight: red, bronze and white bands
encircling a hazy south pole. The multicoloured concentric layers are
broken in places by prominent weather systems such as Jupiter’s famous
Great Red Spot, visible towards the upper left, chaotic patches of cloud
and pale white dots. Many of these lighter patches contain
lightning-filled thunderstorms.

Title - Io transits Jupiter.
Jupiter's four largest satellites, including Io, the golden ornament
in front of Jupiter in this image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, have
fascinated Earthlings ever since Galileo Galilei discovered them in 1610
in one of his first astronomical uses of the telescope.
