Beautiful Europa...

This global view of Europa shows the location of a four-frame mosaic of images taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft, set into low-resolution data obtained by the Voyager spacecraft in 1979. Putting new data into its surrounding context is a technique that allows scientists to better understand features observed on planetary surfaces. The Galileo spacecraft obtained these images during its first orbit of Jupiter at a distance of about 156.000 km (such approx. 96.300 miles) on June 27, 1996. The finest details that can discerned in this picture are about 1,6 Km (1 mile) across. North is to the top.
