Gibbous Europa The robot spacecraft Galileo captured this image mosaic during its mission orbiting Jupiter from 1995 - 2003. Visible are plains of bright ice, cracks that run to the horizon, and dark patches that likely contain both ice and dirt. Raised terrain is particularly apparent near the terminator, where it casts shadows. Credit: Galileo Project, JPL, NASA; reprocessed by Ted Stry FABULOUS NAME IMO
