Winner, Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2011: Jupiter in all its glory – picture

Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2011 , Jupiter with Io and Ganymede
The gas giant Jupiter with two of its 64 known moons, Io and Ganymede. The surface of the planet is streaked with colourful bands and dotted with huge oval storms. Unusually, detail is also visible on the two moons. The photos that make up this composite image were taken by Damian Peach from Barbados, where the clearness of the atmosphere makes possible exceptionally detailed astronomical pictures
