NASA issued a press kit on Voyager 2's coming encounter with Jupiter July 9, describing the modifications resulting from Voyager 1 findings. As the images from the latter in its January approach revealed changes on Jupiter differing from observations by Pioneer 11 four years earlier, so Voyager 2 had sent back images that differed in the shorter term on its approach. Its pictures of Jupiter relayed from 56 million kilometers had already exceeded the best resolution possible with Earth telescopes. (NASA Release 79-86)
