Io flyby coming up in a couple of hours. C/A distance is 22,241 km. Will cover the same region that we've seen of late, the northern trailing hemisphere. Might see the Prometheus plume just pass the terminator in the early images.

Nice to see the blinking animation. The associated feature name I've seen is Vivasvant Patera as per this map. I've yet to see any "Montes" type feature names in this area. The names in the map are distorted on the cylindrical projection so that they look good when projected on a sphere.

The names in the map are distorted on the cylindrical projection so that they look good when projected on a sphere. My apologies. I got distracted by the changing feature on the right, just below center of the flip view crop, and forgot you were interested in the mountains in the upper left. |
