Ganymede - Galileo

Black and white global image of Ganymede

Ganymede
This Galileo global view of Ganymede was taken on 26 June 1996 during Galileo's first encounter with the satellite. The bright area are relatively fresh impact craters. The lighter areas appear to be younger grooved terrain extending over most of Ganymede, while the dark areas are older furrowed terrain. The dark circular area at upper right is galileo Regio. Ganymede is 5262 km in diameter, the resolution of this image is about 13.4 km and north is up. (Galileo, P-49532)
