Scientific paper

Jupiter's ring system has previously been described as being composed of a "bright" narrow ring and an interior, vertically-extended halo. The one image which reveals this morphology most clearly is Voyager 2's parting shot of the Jupiter system (FDS 20693.02). The bright ring is plainly visible, and the halo appears after slight contrast enhancement. By further enhancement of this image the authors have discovered an additional ring, which is far fainter than either of the components previously identified, extending to a radius of 210,000 km.
