Europan Night (2000)
What you have here is a view of the giant planet Jupiter from a vantage point
somewhere above the surface of Europa, one of its icy moons. The Sun is right behind
you but just below the moon's horizon, so the light in this rendition is coming from
Jupiter. Europa's surface is a cracked layer of ice that looks like a jigsaw puzzle.
The ice has been fractured because, probably, there is a sub-Europan ocean of liquid
water constantly on the move beneath it.
