Discovery Image
This is one of the discovery images (FDS 16383.54) of Thebe.
It was taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft 4 hours 26 minutes
before the closest approach to Jupiter. This image is a wide
angle picture taken at a range 4.3x105 kilometers. The dark circular
disk is the shadow of Thebe and not the actual planet. Once the
shadow images were analyzed, Thebe was located on several other
images.
