PIX4575211: Surface de Callisto - Illustration - Spires on Callisto - Illustration - Artist's view of erodes ice peaks on the surface of Callisto. In May 2001 Nasa's Galileo spacecraft took the highest resolution images of any of Jupiter's satellites. The images were of the southeastern perimeter of Callisto's massive Asgard impact basin and what they revealed was unlike anything seen before in the Solar System: bright, icy spires rising from an otherwise relatively flat, cratered terrain. The spires may consist of material thrown outward from a major impact billions of years ago. In this image dozens of knobby spires rise into the airless void to twice the height of the Statue of Liberty. Over the eons the dirty ice in the spires has slowly eroded, leaving the non - ice materials to slide down and collect around the base of the spires. As this location is on the side of Callisto that always faces away from Jupiter (the “anti - Jupiter” side), its jovian host would never appear above the horizon / Bridgeman Images
PIX4575708: Color Moon - Colorful Moon - The Moon looks white, even orange or red if it is close to the horizon. In reality different shades exist depending on the composition of the soil. By saturating the colours with a digital treatment, the seas (covered with solidified lava) are mostly blue or rust, while the heavily craterized areas are rosatra. 12 July 2006. The Moon seems to be simply white, or orange/red if it is near the horizon. But in fact some colors appear depending on the nature of its terrains. With a digital process to saturate its color, the seas (covered by solid lavas) are mostly blue or orange, and craterised areas are pinkish / Bridgeman Images
PIX4577293: Earth and the Moon - Apollo 8 - December 1968 - Earthrise from Apollo 8 spacecraft - Earthrise seen from the control module of Apollo 8 in orbit around the Moon. High - oblique view of the moon's surface showing Earth rising above the lunar horizon, looking west - southwest, as photographed from the Apollo 8 spacecraft as it orbited the moon. The center of the picture is located at about 105 degrees east longitude and 13 degrees south latitude / Bridgeman Images
