Here are the orbital crystals of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter for March 2015. This is using data taken from the
JPL Horizons website.
First, the individual pairs:
 |
| Io and Europa |
 |
| Io and Ganymede |
 |
| Io and Callisto |
 |
| Europa and Ganymede |
 |
| Europa and Callisto |
 |
| Ganymede and Callisto |
So then I can combine all of these into one image and colorize each one differently to come up with this:
 |
| Orbital Crystal for March 2015 |
Here's the same image, but showing the orbits:

And then I can zoom in a few times:
I hope you find these as beautiful as I do.
