Europa and Callisto are caught, under the watchful gaze of Jupiter, nearly perfectly aligned with each other, the Great Red Spot, and the planet's center in this true color frame made of narrow angle images taken on December 7, 2000. Europa (seen against Jupiter) is 600,000 km above the planet's cloud tops; Callisto (at lower left) is nearly three times that distance at 1.8 million km.
