Is that even Io? Check out my post on Io earlier: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...ost&p=82165
If ustrax has the right hemisphere according to his reference image, the most prominent feature in the image should Bosphorus Regio, which should appear bright near the center of the disk. Media Regio oddly appears brighter than Bosphorus, which doesn't make any sense. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

AHHH, now I understand. The moon on the left (which is the one I think you were looking at) is Ganymede. The moon on the right, still to the upper left of Jupiter is Io. At this point, LORRI just doesn't have the resolution to pick out individual volcanic centers. NH can see large scale albedo features, like Bosphorus and Colchis Regiones, and the dark material surrounding Isum Patera, but at such low resolution, you can't really see small scale features. I should try to calculate the resolution for the Io image. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
