The Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter, allowing it to capture images of the planet from various angles, including views where Jupiter is half in sunlight and half in shadow. The other options are Earth-based or Earth-orbiting telescopes, which would not typically have the vantage point to capture a first quarter view of Jupiter.
