A transit of Io across Jupiter.
The Galilean satellite Io floats above the cloudtops of Jupiter in this image captured on the dawn of the new millennium, January 1, 2001 10:00 UTC (spacecraft time), two days after Cassini's closest approach. The image is deceiving: there are 350,000 kilometers — roughly 2.5 Jupiters — between Io and Jupiter's clouds. Io is the size of our Moon, and Jupiter is very big.
