From January 6 to February 3, 1979, the Voyager I spacecraft covered a distance of 27 million kilometers during its approach of Jupiter.  A selection of photos from this period, taken at the same longitude each Jovian rotation (about once every ten hours) was assembled into a time-lapse animation by the folks back on Earth (click to watch):

We’re accustomed to seeing photos of Jupiter as a beautiful but silent orb, and yet here it is, chaotic and tumultuous: a living planet, with gushing arteries of atmospheric clouds surrounding the swirling vortex of the Great Red Spot (a massive storm system several times larger than the Earth itself).

Voyager I and her sister ship, Voyager II, are still out there, thirty years later.  Still talking to us.  Still travelling.  What would you see, if you had an eternity to wander the vastness of space?
