The new images show a broad, faint cloud of material permeating the whole system, and also show that the rings do not extend as far out from the planet as they did in previous observations.
For some months, travellers on the London underground have been unable to escape the image of a naked pre-teen, fully lit and meticulously detailed down to her faint cloud of pubic fuzz.
They are (i) brighter (∼kilorayleighs) cloud around Io as far as ∼ 50RIo(Io radii), (ii) cloud which is directed away from Jupiter and concentrated along the equatorial plane of Jupiter outside Io's orbit, and (iii) diffuse and faint cloud spreading outside Io's orbit.
And then, eventually, I'd be back on the Illusion, and in all likelihood my cabin would be too hot, so I'd drag my sheets and pillow up on deck and stare at the stars, pinpoints of ultimate clarity, banded by the faint cloud of the Milky Way, and let the waves and the wind rock me to sleep.
The faint cloud is about 1500 light-years from Earth, but is so big--70 light-years across--that it covers an area of the sky 35 times larger than the full moon.
Such movies reveal faint clouds that are difficult to discern in single images.
Across the river was a recompense for five hours of walking: the city, its lights diffusing in the mist of faint clouds above it, the whole varied sequence of glittering buildings cropped ruler-straight at the bottom by the Hudson's dark waterline.
The sky was hazy with some faint clouds passing occasionally.
Tucked under blankets, we glide along for a good 30 minutes, the ground glowing a faint violet and small clouds hanging in the sky above like ghosts on Walpurgis night.
