The pictures on this page are all
from a web site created by NASA and the
Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The site hosts over 2,600 images.
I have used several of these images in my own compilations. The web site
is call "Planetary Photojournal" and located here.
The images on this page are the
Planetary Photojournal. The original images are very high quality--
2,000 pixels or more. However, the originals are often in odd sizes.
So I have cropped and resized them to conventional desktop wall paper sizes
and put them on this page.
This page is for people such as
myself who have large monitors and at high resolution. I found it
difficult to find good high resolution wallpaper, so I created this page.

Jupiter and 4 moons
Jupiter and its four planet-size moons, called the Galilean satellites, were photographed in early March by Voyager 1 and assembled into this collage. They are not to scale but are in their relative positions. Reddish Io (upper left) is nearest Jupiter; then Europa (center); Ganymede and Callisto (lower right). Image by NASA/JPL/Caltech.

| Saturn and 5 moons
This montage of images of the Saturnian system was prepared from an assemblage of images taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft during its Saturn encounter in November 1980. This artist's view shows Dione in the forefront, Saturn rising behind, Tethys and Mimas fading in the distance to the right, Enceladus and Rhea off Saturn's rings to the left, and Titan in its distant orbit at the top.

9 Planets and 4 moons
This solar-system montage of the nine planets and 4 large moons of Jupiter in our solar system are set against a false-color view of the Rosette Nebula. The light emitted from the Rosette Nebula results from the presence of hydrogen (red), oxygen (green) and sulfur (blue). Image by NASA/JPL/Caltech.
