This is a lovely image from APOD earlier this week showing Io and Jupiter as seen by the New Horizons craft en route to Pluto. This is one of those computer desktop wallpaper images that space craft seem really good at producing.

I am studying for my PhD in Astronomy at Cardiff University in the UK. Star formation is my main area of research but really I like anything to do with space, science and the internet.

One of the guys in a yahoo group I frequent mentioned that all this image was missing was a big monolith, and one of the other guys ’shopped one in.
I agree, it’s a marvelous image.
