TAILIEUCHUNG - Atlas of the Galilean Satellites

This Atlas is not what it should be. If fate had been kinder, each of the four planetary bodies represented here would have had its own Atlas, each larger than this volume. Don’t blame the author, though; the culprit is an elegant yet critical device called the HGA, explained in Chapter . Should you pass over this book on your way to the used “pilates-at-home” bookshelf or toss it in the recycle paper bin? I hope not. Despite its shortcomings, this Atlas is the most complete representation we will have of the surfaces of Jupiter’s large Galilean satellites for the next decade, objects that should be called planets,. | ATLAS OF THE GALILEAN SATELLITES PAUL SCHENK CAMBKIlXiE This page intentionally left blank Atlas of the Galilean Satellites Complete color global maps and high-resolution mosaics of Jupiter s four large moons - Io Europa Ganymede and Callisto - are compiled for the first time in this important atlas. The satellites are revealed as four visually striking and geologically diverse planetary bodies Io s volcanic lavas and plumes and towering mountains Europa s fissured ice surface the craters fractures and polar caps of Ganymede and the giant impact basins desiccated plains and icy pinnacles of Callisto. Featuring images taken from the pathfinding Voyager and the recent Galileo orbiter missions this atlas is a comprehensive mapping reference guide for researchers. It contains 65 global and regional maps nearly 250 high-resolution mosaics and images taken at resolutions as high as 6 meters. Paul Schenk is a Staff Scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston Texas where he specializes in impact craters and other features on icy satellites and in 3-D imaging. He is currently analyzing released Cassini data of the icy satellites of Saturn and assisting the New Horizons team plan their encounter with Pluto in .
