PoV-Ray 3.6 animation of an orbital flight around the small Jovian inner moon Amalthea at a distance of 500 kilometres (312 miles) from Amalthea's centre. Note the anti-sunward site of Amalthea partially being faintly illuminated by "Jupitershine", also innermost Galilean moon Io passing by in the distance.

Amalthea shape model raw data by Phil Stooke/A. Tayfun Öner. Jupiter cloud texture by NASA (Cassini mosaic). Io surface texture by Björn Jónsson. Star data for background gleaned from Erich Karkoschka: Atlas für Himmelsbeobachter (Atlas For Skywatchers), Stuttgart, Germany, 2000
