This colour map of Jupiter's southern hemisphere was produced from images taken by the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft on 11/12 December 2000, during its fly-by of the giant planet on its way to Saturn.
This is one of the most detailed global colour maps of Jupiter ever produced; the smallest visible features are about 120 kilometres across.
