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.

So many moons and planets, so little time.. perhaps the Planetary Society will get enough money for a close inspection of Europa sometime soon.

QUOTE (mike @ Oct 21 2005, 07:19 PM) So many moons and planets, so little time.. perhaps the Planetary Society will get enough money for a close inspection of Europa sometime soon. Can you imagine how many spacecraft we could build if France, the UK, Russia, and the US stopped building warplanes for just one year and diverted the money to space hardware? I know that's totally fanciful, and I know we need planes, and our military plays a vitally important role (and my son is a helicopter pilot in the US Army)...but would it really "kill" us to go one measly year without building new ones? We could fund many of the projects we would so dearly love to do. Think how much we could learn about our solar system! Add it to your New Year's wish list! Has anyone totalled up the surface area of the moons and major asteroids, even just a rough order of magnitude, and compared it to the Earth's surface area? Isn't it amazing to think about how much unexplored territory there is in our solar system? Once we get the technology to visit them, the human race will be busy for decades crawling over every nook and cranny. -------------------- Jonathan Ward
