Frozen H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid) on Europa?
Frozen Sulfuric Acid on Jupiter's moon Europa is depicted in this image produced from data gathered by NASA's Galileo spacecraft. The brightest areas, where the yellow is most intense, represent Regions of high frozen Sulfuric Acid concentration. Sulfuric Acid is found in "exhaust battery acid" and in Earth's acid rain.
This image is based on data gathered by Galileo's NIMS (Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer).
Europa's Leading Hemisphere is toward the bottom right and there are enhanced concentrations of Sulfuric Acid in the Trailing Side of Europa (the upper left side of the image). This is the face of Europa that is struck by sulfur ions coming from Jupiter's innermost moon, Io. The long, narrow features that criss-cross Europa also show Sulfuric Acid that may be from sulfurous material extruded in cracks.
Galileo, launched in 1989, has been orbiting Jupiter and its moons since December 1995.
