According to a story by Space.com, astronomers recently presented what may be the most in-depth images of two of Jupiter's famous moons obtained from Earth's surface. The photographs emphasize the ice surfaces and particulars of the chemical processes that make up Europa and Ganymede, two of Jupiter's four Galilean moons that bear the names of the astronomers who made the first observations of them. Scientists say that the new images, which were captured by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, are meant to lay the groundwork for prospective space missions that will concentrate on these planets. The incredibly detailed images display the geological features of the two frozen Jovian moons, such as a long, rift-like gash known as a "linae" that spans Europa's surface.

Studies of Europa, which is around the size of the Earth's moon, and Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system and larger than Mercury, measure the amount of sunlight reflected from the icy surfaces of the moons.

These reflectance spectra allowed scientists to determine the chemistry of both Jovian moons. Observed by ESO's Very Large Telescope, a Starburst Galaxy Is Filled With A "Whirlpool of Gold"
