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.

May be this is not really new, but I just found it on the USGS planetary nomenclature site:
The big albedo features (bright plains and mottled terrains) on Europa have now official names (as Regio): Name (LAT / LON / DIAM) : Annwn Regio (20.0 / 320.0 / 2,300) Argadnel Regio (-14.6 / 208.5 / 1,900) Balgatan Regio (-50.0 / 30.0 / 2,500) Dyfed Regio (10.0 / 250.0 / 1,750) Falga Regio (30.0 / 210.0 / 2,500) Moytura Regio (-50.0 / 294.3 / 483) Powys Regio (0.0 / 145.0 / 2,000) Tara Regio (-10.0 / 75.0 / 1,780) I already knew about Argadnel and Moytura Regiones, but the other names seem to be quite new. Some new crater and Lineae names have also been assigned. Marc. |
