A composite image of Jupiter and Io, taken on February 28 and March 1, 2007 respectively. Jupiter is shown in infrared, whereas Io is shown in true-color.  LORRI images of Jupiter's rings. The top image was taken on approach to Jupiter, whereas the bottom image was taken on departure, illuminated by the Sun.  A composite false-color image of Oval BA, otherwise known as the "Little Red Spot", using New Horizons' LORRI and the ہبل خلائی دوربین's WFPC2.  An MVIC image of Jupiter's equatorial atmosphere, showing Buoyancy waves that travel at 100m/s faster than surrounding clouds.

A LORRI image of Io, taken while New Horizons passed through its penumbra. Volcanic plumes, لاوا and انوار قطبی are all visible in this image.  New Horizons view of یوروپا (چاند). One of the goals of New Horizons at Europa was to examine the "nature of the icy crust and the forces that have deformed it".  New Horizons' view of Ganymede  Image of کالستو (چاند). The moon was used by the New Horizons team to practice detecting water ice, in preparation for similar experiments at شیرون (چاند).
