Greetings from Padova,
finally have a few free minutes and a high-speed connection. Im here for the "official" celebrations tonite and this week for the Galileo Jupiter discoveries 400 years ago. the weather is cold, probably not unlike that winter night when he first gazed on those cold orbs orbiting giant Jupiter. I have been busy uploading new videos and stills from a large collection of new flyovers of the Galileo satellites. It will take the rest of the day to get them all up, but there are some up now. just check the usual sites: stereomoons.blogspot.com and www.youtube.com/galsat400 Hope to have more to say after the reception tonite! ciao paolo ---- CORRECTION ---- SORRY - mistyped the video link earlier! stereomoons.blogspot.com and www.youtube.com/galsat400 -------------------- Dr. Paul Schenk, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston TX

Those "spires" on Callisto fascinate me. One day I really will have to try and ferret out some good pictures of them. There's a poem there, I can feel it...

Usual question for Paul about those very nice renderings- what's the vertical exaggeration?
