Voyager 1’s encounters with Jupiter and Saturn changed the way we see the outer solar system. Launched in 1977, it reached Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1980, capturing stunning close-ups of both planets and their moons.
At Jupiter, Voyager 1 revealed the swirling clouds, the massive Great Red Spot, and even the planet’s faint ring system. Its images of moons like Io, with its active volcanoes, and Europa, with its icy surface, hinted at the incredible diversity of these worlds.
Moving on to Saturn, the spacecraft brought us the most detailed views of its iconic rings, made up of countless icy particles, and glimpses of its moons, including Titan with its thick, smoggy atmosphere.
This timelapse brings together these historic moments, showing how Voyager 1 unlocked the beauty and mystery of these distant giants, frame by frame.
