Voyager 1 closest approach to Jupiter

Assembled from 69 blocks · 1 evidence · 64 related

1. Story
2. The first of the four gravity assists that carried the programme outward. Beyond the trajectory change, the encounter returned the first detailed images of the Galilean moons, found a faint ring around Jupiter, and characterised a magnetosphere far larger and more energetic than models had suggested.

68. Evidence
69. The encounter dates and principal findings at Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, including the Jovian ring, the resolved ring structure at Saturn, the tilted and offset Uranian magnetic field and the newly found moons at both ice giants. V55 verification basis: THE PAGES WERE NOT REACHED — science.nasa.gov is blocked by this session's egress proxy and the search budget was exhausted. Everything attributed here is standard mission record from general knowledge; a curator must confirm each encounter date and each count of newly discovered moons against NASA's own pages.
