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.
