Images of the jovian main ring obtained by the New Horizons spacecraft in backscattered (top) and forward-scattered (bottom) light. A faint outer ringlet is just outside the orbit of Adrastea. A gap situated between the orbits of Metis and Adrastea is clearly visible. Metis is just inside the bright outer (~1000 km) part of the ring.
