PIA17901: Ganymede Global Geologic Map and Global Image Mosaic


Ganymede Global Geologic Map and Global Image Mosaic

Caption:

To present the best information in a single view of Jupiter's moon Ganymede, a global image mosaic was assembled, incorporating the best available imagery from NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft and NASA's Galileo spacecraft. This image shows Ganymede centered at 200 west longitude. This mosaic (right) served as the base map for the geologic map of Ganymede (left).
