I have worked on sprucing up some global views of Europa from Galileo. There are a few more global views I hope to get to eventually. But the best two at nearly full phase benefited a lot.
[Moderator note: There are several more threads containing Galileo Europa images but they all contain several inactive image links.

Beautiful image, Ted!
It is from orbit E17, isn't it? BTW, for JUICE is planned NAC camera with 5 microrad resolution. With this camera, JUICE will obtain two times better images of Europa even from the orbit around Ganymede (and with many filters). -------------------- |

Trying to turn that violet image into a good "gray" image was a pain. I have made several previous attempts that were much less successful. Wow, I hadn't read the specifications. Looking at the time this was taken, soon afterwards Europa transited Jupiter. Had Galileo had a working antenna, it would have made for one of the most spectacular movies ever. -------------------- |
