| Jupiter - Moons Maps ** | ||||
| Jupiter map James Hastings realistic map, made with images from Cassini. |
||||
| Moons maps Io Björn Jonson's realistic map, made with pictures from Vogager 1 and 2, and some adds in the poles. Europa Map by the same author, very realistic, made with high resolution images from Galileo and colored following the pictures from Voyager 1 and 2. Ganymede Also Björn Jonson's map, great detailed and made with Galileo and Voyagers pictures too. Callisto Very realistic map with just little ads from the same author's of the previous ones. Once again, made it with Galileo and Voyagers pictures. |

| Rings map Fictitious map created with a pattern based on data rings. |
