Years before reaching Pluto, New Horizons would first fly by the solar system's largest planet, Jupiter, in February or March 2007. In this artist's rendering, New Horizons is just past its closest approach to the planet. Near the Sun are Earth, Venus and Mercury. The dim crescent shape at the upper right of the Sun is Callisto, the outermost of Jupiter's four largest moons. Just left of Jupiter is Europa.
