Figure 3.5. On the left, Jupiter as it appeared to a ground-
based observer in 2002. For comparison, the
image on the right shows its appearance in 2000
as recorded by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
In both images, the oval blemish in the southern hemisphere is the Great Red Spot. In the Cassini image, the shadow of the Galilean moon Europa appears to the west of the Great Red Spot.
Jupiter's equatorial radius is 71,400 kilometers (44,400 miles). For comparison, the Earth's
equatorial radius is 6,400 kilometers (4,000
miles).

Figure 7.1. Reproduction of a sketch of Shakspere's coat
of arms based on the original drawn in 1596 by
the Garter King of Arms (see e.g., Michell 72–73). The punning crest features a falcon shaking a
spear, and above are the words Non, Sanz Droict (“No, without right”), a variation of the intended Non Sanz Droict (“Not without right”).
