This image is not a Voyager 1 or Voyager 2 image since they were not launched until 1977 and the Voyagers were prone to tracking errors blurring long exposures. |

Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media."

Non-free use
[edit]This image qualifies for fair use in the articles Leda (moon) and Moons of Jupiter because:
- 1) Illustrates the discovery of the subject in question
- 2) No freely available alternative to this unique image (Leda cannot be discovered again)
- 3) It demonstrates how a telescope can track a satellite of Jupiter and blur background stars
