Cross-eye 3D view of 11 km high Tohil Montes and Radegast Patera (dark lava lake).
Resolution is approx. 150 m/pix. Color from lower resolution images from orbit C21 observations. BTW, Radegast Patera has almost same diameter as Endeavour crater.

That's gotta be the most dramatic view of Europa that I've seen. Very nice.

Yeah, you won't find topography like that on Europa.

Unless it's Europa in Philovision.

It's my fault, I forgot "Ionian" before Tohil, which is btw correctly Tohil Mons (mountain), not Tohil Montes (mountains), but I still think, that Montes would be more appropriate for such complex structure.

Now, more stereoscopic images (BW and color anaglyphs + enhanced cross eye version) of Ionian Tohil Mons and Radegast Patera are available on my blog.

Little preview from Europa.
High resolution mosaic of Conamara Chaos (~12 m/pix). Image is colorized from lower resolution images (~200 m/pix) This image is reduced in size (2×).

Wonderful!! I think this is the first time I have seen this mosaic without it being horribly saturated, and the color makes it even better. I love the pieces of ridges crossing rafts.
Every fine image from a Galilean moon that I see at UMSF makes me want to go back to Jupiter and do the Galileo mission properly, with a working HGA... -------------------- |

(Sigh)...me too, Emily, me too. Sure wish we'd see something like that proposed in the RFP cycles...could probably do it on a less-than-Flagship budget these days.

It would also be nice to have a few 10s of kilos of Pu-238.

Nice work! here is my version from the Atlas of Galilean Satellites for comparison. scaled by 50% for upload

OK, that's pretty super too. I need to get my hands on a copy of that book. The guy running the booth at DPS/EPSC had packed up his display copies before I had a chance to bat my eyelashes at him and wheedle it out of him. (I did have success with that tactic at the Springer booth, got me the display copy of Michael Carroll's latest book, Drifting on Alien Winds. I've *really* been enjoying that one.)
