Voyager 1 at Ganymede - This 'test rendering' shows a 30-degree view of Voyager 1 at Ganymede, as it was at 01:28 GMT on March 6th 1979. The camera is 50 metres away from Voyager and the spacecraft is 123,935 km from Ganymede, approximately 10,000 km before closest approach. This scene was rendered using Björn Jónsson's rather incredible Ganymede map (as far as I can tell, it's currently the most accurate on the web in terms of details and colouration!), David Seal's Solar System Simulator to 'reverse-engineer'/check the scene and get the distance to Ganymede (try it yourself!), and the limited label data from the image taken by Voyager 1's wide-angle camera at closest approach - I have included that very image here, so that you can see the view from Voyager 1 itself at that very moment! Bear in mind that this is just the wide-angle view (I think the wide-angle camera has an FOV of ~3.5 degrees) - there are also narrow angle views that have a better resolution. |
