Explanation:
This computer generated 3D close-up view of Jupiter's
large moon Ganymede
was created using image data from
NASA's Galileo spacecraft.
Simulating stereo vision by
combining two recent images recorded from different angles,
3 dimensional information was reconstructed for a section
of Ganymede's surface.
The result shows the furrows, craters, and hills in the
region appropriately known as "Galileo Regio" with a resolution
of about 250 feet.
Currently exploring
the Jovian System,
the Galileo spacecraft
just completed a flyby of Europa.
It is scheduled to return to Ganymede in April next year.
