[Main Ring] [Ring Structure] [Amalthea Orbit]

Jupiter's main ring seen from almost edge on, ends abruptly at its outer edge.
Variations in the ring's brightness are caused by the ring moons Adrastea and Metis.
A much thicker faint halo occurs above and below the ring, thickening towards the planet.
