Like Father and Son... (approx. true colors; credits: NASA)65 visteCaption NASA:"This is a montage of New Horizons images of Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, taken during the Spacecraft's Jupiter flyby in early 2007. The Jupiter image is an infrared color composite taken by the spacecraft's near-infrared imaging spectrometer, the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) at 1:40 UT on Feb. 28, 2007. The infrared wavelengths used (red: 1.59 µm, green: 1.94 µm, blue: 1.85 µm) highlight variations in the altitude of the Jovian cloud tops, with blue denoting high-altitude clouds and hazes, and red indicating deeper clouds. The prominent bluish-white oval is the Great Red Spot. The observation was made at a solar phase angle of 75° but has been projected onto a crescent to remove distortion caused by Jupiter's rotation during the scan.
The Io image, taken at 00:25 UT on March 1st 2007, is an approx. true-color composite taken by the panchromatic Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI), with color information provided by the 0.5 µm ("blue") and 0.9 µm ("methane") channelsof the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC). The image shows a major eruption in progress on Io's night side, at the northern volcano Tvashtar. Incandescent lava glows red beneath a 330-kilometer high volcanic plume, whose uppermost portions are illuminated by sunlight. The plume appears blue due to scattering of light by small particles in the plume ".

Titanian Lakes40 visteCaption NASA originale:"This Cassini radar image shows two lakes "kissing" each other on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan.
The image has been taken from a fly-by occurred on Sept. 23, 2006, and covers an area of about 60 Km (approx. 37 miles) wide by 40 Km (approx. 25 miles) high.
This pass was primarily dedicated to the ion and neutral mass spectrometer instrument, so although, the volume of radar data was small, scientists were amazed to see Earth-like lakes. With Titan's colder temperatures and hydrocarbon-rich atmosphere, however, the lakes likely contain a combination of methane and ethane, not water.
In this image, near 73° North Latitude and 46° West Longitude, two lakes are seen, each 20 to 25 Km (approx. 12 to 16 miles) across. They are joined by a relatively narrow channel. The lake on the right has lighter patches within it, indicating that it may be slowly drying out as the Northern Summer approaches".

AS 15-82-11089 (HR) - Impossible Shadow and Photoartifact129 visteCerchiatura Gialla: una pseudo-roccia Lunare (dalla forma più inquietante che bizzarra...) proietta un'ombra lunghissima e, a nostro avviso, anche totalmente incongrua rispetto alla sua sagoma.
Cerchiatura Fucsia: photoartifact causato (probabilmente) da un difetto della pellicola originale.

The "Fountains" of Enceladus at "High Phase" (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)25 visteCaption NASA:"Saturn's moon Enceladus, imaged at High Phase, shows off its spectacular Water Ice Plumes emanating from its South Polar Region.
This image was captured at a Phase, or Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, Angle of 159° so that Sunlight would reveal the backlit plumes.
Sunlight brightly illuminates Terrain on the left. Light reflected off Saturn illuminates the rest of the moon more dimly. This view looks toward the Trailing Hemisphere of Enceladus. North is down. Background stars, elongated by the movement of the Spacecraft during the exposure, are also visible.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 13, 2009. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 431.000 Km (about 268.000 miles) from Enceladus.
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (about 1,9 miles) per pixel".Set 06, 2010

A beautiful crescent Dione (with a "Small Companion", maybe...)26 visteCaption NASA:"A thin crescent of highly Cratered Terrain is illuminated on Saturn's third largest moon, Dione. Lit Terrain seen here is on the Saturn-facing side of Dione. North is up.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 17, 2010.
The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 394.000 Km (about 245.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 151°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (about 1,2 miles) per pixel".Set 06, 2010
