This observation seems to be within the boundaries of 11ESREGMAP01, judging from the footprint graphic (NASA). I'll attempt a composite later, but 6m/pxl within about 200m/pxl will appear submicroscopic...12ESMOTTLE01-02

QUOTE (Exploitcorporations @ Jan 21 2006, 01:25 PM) 12ESMOTTLE01-02 Ooh, lovely. I only recall having seen one frame of that before (touted as the "highest-resolution view of Europa" IIRC), and it was one of my favourites. Has anyone ever considered fomenting a "campaign for more oblique imaging"?

Has anyone ever determined the composition of the dark material in the cracks and lines of Europa's surface?
How "pure" is Europan ice? -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Absolutely incredible how young the surface is. I really hope to see some kind of mission(s) to Europa in my lifetime.
I wonder too if the dark material in the cracks might be some sort of organic material. Algae?

Awesome work!
Yes, the MOTTLE mosaic can be located within the REGMAP mosaic, as below. (credit Univ. AZ) The dark stuff composition is presumably the "non-water-ice" component observed by NIMS--hydrated sulfate salts and/or sulfuric acid hydrate--as radiation-processed into chains of sulfur. But there certainly could be organics in there as well--it will take a better spectrometer to find out. Ridge cross-sections? Probably so, but complicated by talus slopes extending out toward us. -Bob P.

Answer to Vexgizmo's sulpheric acid Pepsi challenge over in Ted's thread:E6ESBRTPLN colorized
Edit: Myran, that's your color sample. I meant to use a crop from Vexgizmo's post, but I mistook yours for the NASA version. Excellent work! -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...
