NASA. LARGE FORMAT. RARE. EUROPE moon: moon of the planet JU - Lot 215
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. RARE. EUROPE moon: moon of the planet JUPITER. Superb orthographic projection of the EUROPE Moon made from a regional resolution mosaic superimposed on a lower resolution global view for context. The regional views were obtained during various flybys of the Moon by NASA's Galileo mission, and extend from high northern latitudes to high southern latitudes. One can see the long linear and arched (or arc-shaped) marks called lineae (from Latin, strings or threads), which are a characteristic of the surface of Europa. Color saturation has been enhanced to bring out the subtle red coloration present along many lineae. The color data extend into the infrared, showing bluish ice (indicating larger ice grains) in the polar regions. The regionally resolved mosaics enhance the amount of detail visible in a previous image of the same region of Europe. 1996-1999. Vintage chromogenic print. Legend on label on the back. 50,8 X 60,40CM with margins.
