Die Aufnahmen wurden am 11. Kamerasystem der NASA-Sonde Galileo gewonnen. This three dimensional effect is created by superimposing images of Jupiter's moon, Europa, which were taken from two slightly different perspectives. This stereo view is of an area just southeast of the Tyre multi-ring structure on Jupiter's icy moon Europa. The circular to oval shaped pits that contain dark material are secondary craters formed by debris which was tossed from the site of the impact which formed Tyre, then reimpacted some distance away.
North is to the top of the image and the sun illuminates the surface from the lower left.
