beskrivelse:
Photo of Ganymede, obtained by the Galileo spacecraft, with enhanced contrast. This is a crop of Image:The Galilean satellites (the four largest moons of Jupiter).tif (PIA01299)

Here is the description from JPL's web entry for PIA00716 (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA00716):

Natural color view of Ganymede from the Galileo spacecraft during its first encounter with the satellite. North is to the top of the picture and the sun illuminates the surface from the right. The dark areas are the older, more heavily cratered regions and the light areas are younger, tectonically deformed regions. The brownish-gray color is due to mixtures of rocky materials and ice. Bright spots are geologically recent impact craters and their ejecta. The finest details that can be discerned in this picture are about 13.4 kilometers across. The images which combine for this color image were taken beginning at Universal Time 8:46:04 UT on June 26, 1996.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA manages the mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC.
