Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Does Jupiter rotate and revolve clockwise or counterclockwise?
Jupiter rotates counterclockwise on its axis, like most other planets in our solar system. Its revolution around the Sun is also counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's northern hemisphere.
Is Jupiter dark?

Is there light on Jupiter?
Jupiter does not produce its own light, but it reflects light from the sun. Due to its distance from the sun, Jupiter appears as a bright object in the night sky when viewed from Earth. It is not a source of light itself.
Why can you never see a crescent Jupiter from Earth?
Jupiter always appears as a full disk or a nearly full disk when viewed from Earth because it is much larger and closer to the Sun than the Earth. This means that the angle between the Sun, Jupiter, and Earth is such that we always see most of Jupiter illuminated. A crescent phase, where only a portion of Jupiter is illuminated, is not possible due to this alignment.
Which planet in the solar system shows the giant red spot as viewed from the earth?
It was only during spacecraft missions to Jupiter that crescent views of the planet were obtained. A small telescope will usually show Jupiter's four Galilean moons and the prominent cloud belts across Jupiter's atmosphere. A large telescope will show Jupiter's Great Red Spot when it faces the Earth.
