This is actually the Voyager 2 flyby animation. The Voyager 1 video can be found here: video.google.co.uk/videoplay?d­ocid=-870102537039645219

@ianr81

If you listen to the audio narration, you will notice the narrator comments that these images were actually generated from images taken by Voyager I pictures

This planet is so mysterious,is this only a gas giant with a small part of rock matter,or its clouds hide us more than a small piece of rocks and other materials?

[MrBeatrixKiddo]

far as we can tell, its all gas except the center, some theorize that the center may be liquid iron , that theory is based on the fact that Jupiter has such a large magnetic field emitting from its interior, but we really don't know for sure what elements exist in the interior of Jupiter, maybe even some new element we have not discovered yet....

@MrBeatrixKiddo Have you heard the theory that it might be partially diamond? That would be something to see.

[CamiloSanchez1979]

I think one day a meteorite is gonna hit it in the wrong place and it will become a star

[mdrachir]

do they have these animations on dvds anywhere?

[MrGeek27]

voyager 1 & 2 are my to favorite probes ever.

[ianr81]

Yes, the textures used for Jupiter and the moons were generated using the images sent back by Voyager 1, but the actual animation itself is of Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter.

Thanks MrBeatrixKiddo.
