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.

Today, it seems that NASA is at last committing to flying a mission (probably Europa Clipper) to Europa after years of studies. By a strange conincidence, on this same day I may have finally finished the 20000x10000 pixel map of Europa I've been working on for almost 2 years (!) (but with major breaks to do several smaller projects). All that remains is to check for images I might have overlooked that I should have included in the map (I don't expect to find any). The map should include almost every image down to a resolution of ~200 m/pixel plus a selection of several higher-res images.
Here is a 4000x4000 pixel test render showing the hemisphere with the best imaging coverage, including a pole-to-pole strip left of center at higher resolution than most of the map. Due to upload size limitations I couldn't upload a bigger version here; a bigger (6000x6000 pixels) version can be seen here: http://www.mmedia.is/bjj/data/europa/europ...b_6000x6000.jpg I'm looking forward to the day when *all* of this terrain has been imaged at better resolution than here by JUICE and/or Europa Clipper. I want my Europa map to become completely outdated as soon as possible! |

I noticed that and assumed that was where Galileo had images things at a higher resolution... am I to understand to that the entire hemisphere has similar resolution in your map? Wow. |
