About “Atlas of the Galilean satellites”
The Atlas of the Galilean Satellites compiles complete color global maps and high-resolution mosaics of Jupiter's four largest moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—based on images from the Galileo mission. It presents the satellites as geologically diverse worlds, showcasing features such as Io's volcanic activity, Europa's icy fractures, Ganymede's craters and polar caps, and Callisto's impact basins and icy terrain. The atlas includes 65 global and regional maps and nearly 250 high-resolution mosaics, with image resolutions ranging from 500 meters to as high as 6 meters per pixel.
