Fleeing Jupiter

Our Space Odyssey goes on with this amazing image from near the end of Odyssey Two; the Monoliths have acted at last, compressing Jupiter until it explodes into a new star. Dave Bowman, now a part of the Monolith, was able to warn the crew of the Leonov, but that had to sacrifice the Discovery, and HAL, to escape. It was not an easy decision but there was no other way. This image shows us the discovery, still on an escape course from Jupiter, apparently desperately fleeing the monumental explosion of the greatest of planets. However, HAL’s sacrifice would not be in vain, for Jupiter became Lucifer, a second star with worlds of it’s own for Man to inhabit. But not Europa. Attempt no landings there. This stunning image makes the perfect finale wallpaper for a science fiction fan.
