Europe - Jupiter Satellite - View of the surface of the Europe satellite obtained from images made by the Galileo probe in 1995 and 1998. Jupiter's icy moon Europa looms large in this newly - reprocessed color view, made from images taken by Nasa's Galileo spacecraft in the late 1990s. This is the color view of Europa from Galileo that shows the largest portion of the moon's surface at the highest resolution. To create this new version, the images were assembled into a realistic color view of the surface that approximates how Europa would appear to the human eye. The scene shows the stunning diversity of Europa's surface geology. Long, linear cracks and ridges crisscross the surface, interrupted by regions of disrupted terrain where the surface ice crust has been broken up and re - frozen into new patterns. Color variations across the surface are associated with differences in geologic feature type and location. For example, areas that appear blue or white contain relatively pure water

Mars: craters and channels in Hephaestus Fossae - Mars: craters and channels in Hephaestus Fossae - Impact crateres and channel system in Hephaestus Fossae, a region on Mars located on the western flank of Elysium Mons. The large impact crater on the left of the image measures 20 km in diameter. The image covering an area of about 150 square km was obtained by the Mars Express probe on 28 December 2007. This image of Hephaestus Fossae was obtained by Esa's Mars Express orbiter on 28 December 2007. The region is dotted with craters and channel systems and lies at about 21* North and 126* East on the Red Planet. Named after the Greek god of fire, Hephaestus Fossae extends for more than 600 km on the western flank of Elysium Mons in the Utopia Planitia region. The surface is mostly smooth, and is covered by several small impact craters measuring 800 to 2800 m in diameter. Smaller craters are scattered across the entire region. The left side of the image shows a large impact crater measuri

March: chaotic terrain between Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae - Mars: Chaotic terrain between Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae - Region bordering Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae. The large impact crater is 35 km in diameter. The image covering an area of 225 km by 95 km was obtained by the Mars Express probe. Mars Express flew over the boundary between Kasei Valles and Sacra Fossae and imaged the region, acquiring spectacular views of the chaotic terrain in the area. The images are centred at 12* N/285* E and have a ground resolution of about 21 m/pixel. They cover 225 x 95 km or 21.375 sq km, an area roughly half the size of the Netherlands. The image shows an old 35 km - diameter impact crater in the north. The crater's southwestern rim is eroded strongly, mostly by flowing water. The source of the water was located in Echo Chasma, which lies about 850 km to the southwest

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft: The Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 11 April 2015 has a distance of 53,000 km from the satellite. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. - This enhancement-color mosaic of Saturn's icy moon Tethys shows a range of features on the moon's trailing hemisphere. Tethys is tidally locked to Saturn, so the trailing hemisphere is the side of the moon that always faces opposite its direction of motion as it orbits the planet - Images taken using clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters were combined to create the view, which highlights subtle color differences across Tethys' surface at wavelengths not visible to human eyes. The moon's surface is fairly uniform in natural color - The color of the surface changes conspicuously across the disk, from yellowish hues to nearly white. These broad color changes are affected by a number of external processes. First, S

This oblique view of the lunar surface was taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft looking southward toward Goclenius and other large craters near 45 degrees east longitude and 10 degrees south latitude in the Sea of Fertility. Goclenius, the crater in the foreground with a rille - broken flat floor, is about 70 kilometers (45 statute miles) in diameter. One rille, approximately horizontal in this view, crosses both crater rims and the central peak, and, on adjoining Apollo 8 photographs, can be traced several kilometers across the mare surface beyond the high crater wall. In the background, the two large craters with smooth floors are Colombo A (left) and Magelhaens.

Crater Bacolor on Mars - Bacolor Crater on planet Mars - View of the impact crater Bacolor obtained by the Mars Odyssey probe. It's an impact crater about 20 km in diameter. Bacolor Crater is a magnificent impact feature about 20 kilometers (12 miles) wide. The lines on the ejecta blanket surrounding the crater rim come from a surge of superheated gas and debris flying outward in the wake of the meteorite impact that made the crater. This view combines images taken during the period from September 2002 to October 2005 by the Thermal Emission Imaging System instrument on Nasa's Mars Odyssey orbiter. The pictured location on Mars is 33 degrees north latitude, 118.6 degrees east longitude

Resolution in the original images ranges from 126 to 154 meters (413 to 505 feet) per pixel. The images have been re - sized to have an image scale of about 100 meters (330 feet) per pixel. North

Dione, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Dione, moon of Saturn, as seen by Cassini - Mosaic of images obtained by the Cassini probe on 11 October 2005 at a distance of about 25,000 km from the satellite. As it departed its encounter with Saturn's moon Dione, Cassini sailed above an unreal landscape blasted by impacts. The rising Sun throws craters into sharp contrast and reveals steep crater walls.

Moon: Aristarchus crater - Moon: Aristarchus crater - Apollo 15 - The Aristarchus crater and the Schroeter valley. Image obtained from the Apollo 15 control module. An oblique view of Schroeter's Valley and the crater Aristarchus, as photographed by the Fairchild metric camera in the Scientific Instrumentation Module (SIM) bay of the Apollo 15 Command and Service Module (CSM) in lunar orbit. This view is looking south. The large, bright - appearing crater to the left of the head of meandering Schroeter's Valley is Aristarchus, the center of which is located at 48 degrees west longitude and 214 degrees north latitude. The crater Aristarchus approximately 35 kilometers (about 21.75 statute miles) in diameter. The head of Schroeter's Valley, a sinuous rille in the Aristarchus Plateau in the Ocean of Storms, is called Cobra Head. Herodotus the crater just above and to the right of Cobra Head in upper center. The three - inch mapping camera was one of eight lunar orbital science experiments
