NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Rare. GALILEO mission. Very high resolut - Lot 216
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Rare. GALILEO mission. Very high resolution photograph of the fantastic Moon of the planet JUPITER: "IO". This photograph was made from a mosaic of images acquired on July 3, 1999, during the closest passage to IO since its insertion in orbit at the end of 1995. This mosaic of colors uses the near-infrared, green and violet filters (a little more than the visible domain) of the spacecraft camera which were treated to emphasize the more subtle color variations. Most of Io's surface shows pastel colors, punctuated by black, brown, green, orange, and red units near active volcanic centers. The improved resolution reveals previously unrecognized small-scale color units that suggest that the lavas and sulfurous deposits are composed of complex mixtures.Period chromogenic print. Caption on label on back. 40.6 X 40.6CM with margins.
