Wow, my mind blown! I strongly suggest you submit the image to APOD, it needs to be seen by lots of people.

I agree with wildespace, is absolutely worth to submit!

APOD don't tend to take submissions. They see stuff they like and publish it themselves, without actually asking.

That's what they've done with a couple of things I've made, anyway.

Ditto...in fact, they've taken my stuff without contacting me and erroneously declaring it in the public domain. My experiences have been decidedly mixed.

I'm particularly taken with the Europa portion of the image. Europa (among many other worlds) exhibits some pronounced phase angle effects, and the best imagery was collected at a variety of phase angles, making the best maps prone to artifacts, and most off-the-shelf rendering of those maps look false because they lack those effects. Very nice global images, even at this relatively low resolution, could be used to: characterize the effects; normalize higher resolution images into a more seamless global map; use the map for rendering views of the globe through arbitrary viewing geometries.

Maybe a big project, but for now, I certainly admire this view of Europa.

And just to further things a little -they took a movie of mine, without asking, compressed it so badly it was ruined, improperly credited the source, improperly cited the source of the data, screwed up the description...etc etc etc..... APOD is not something to aspire to in my opinion.

No worries; Bjorn has done better than APOD with this one. wink.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
