This three dimensional effect is created by superimposing images of Jupiter's moon, Europa, which were taken from two slightly different perspectives. The anaglyph shows Pwyll crater on Jupiter's icy satellite Europa. The heavily degraded rim reaches a height of only 300 meters. A central peak that is higher than the crater rim is unusual among other craters in the Solar System. A continous ejecta blanket around the impact structure rises above the surrounding landscape and is at about the same topographic level as the crater floor.
North is to the top of the picture.
Pwyll is located at about 25 degrees south latitude and 271 degrees west longitude. The stereo perspective combines high resolution images obtained from two different camera positions. Such a three dimensional model is similar to the three dimensional scenes our brains construct from images seen by the left and right eyes. The grey band running completely across the image just north of Pwyll is where a gap in the data prevented three dimensional modelling.
