X-ray/UV/Optical Composite
This composite image displays X-ray data from Chandra
(magenta) and ultraviolet data Hubble Space Telescope
(blue) overlaid on an optical image of Jupiter. While
Chandra observed Jupiter for an entire 10-hour rotation
period on December 18, 2000, this image shows a
'snapshot' of a single 45-minute X-ray pulse.

Animation of Chandra Data
This animation shows the X-ray data over the 10-hour
rotation period, which Chandra observed. The brightness
of the X-rays is shown in units of rayleighs.

Chandra image of Jupiter in
Alternate Color Scheme
This Chandra image shows X-ray intensity in the units
of rayleighs. The observation lasted 10 hours, which
was obtained on December 18, 2000, and each X-ray
photon has been smeared by double the 0.4 arcsecond
full-width half-maximum point-spread-function of the
High Resolution Camera.
