Artists concept of an impact crater on Jupiters moon Ganymede, with Jupiter
Artists concept of an impact crater on Ganymede, about 10 miles in diameter, dominates a scene otherwise defined by a dozen long ridges. In the middle of the crater is a central peak, formed when the energy of the impact liquefied the crust long enough for it to rebound upward and solidify once again.
Immediately above the horizon, Jupiter is still a majestic spectacle, even at a distance of nearly three times that between the Earth and its moon. Much closer on the upper right is Ganymedes sister satellite Europa. At a distance of 307 thousand miles from this vantage point, Europa is only a quarter again as far as the Earth is from its moon. To the lower left of Jupiter at nearly a million miles is Jupiters volcanic satellite Io.
Jupiters largest satellite Ganymede has a varying surface, some of which is characterized by rumpled bundles of ridges and grooves that run for hundreds of miles over a frozen surface of water-ice. They probably formed long ago when tectonic forces pulled apart Ganymedes upper crust; similar sets of faults occur in rift zones on Earth, as in eastern Africa. Subsequent meteoritic impacts have peppered, and broken in places, the continuity of the running formations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of an impact crater on Jupiter's moon Ganymede, revealing the awe-inspiring wonders of our solar system. The dominant feature in this scene is a colossal impact crater, approximately 10 miles in diameter, surrounded by a dozen long ridges that define the landscape. At the center of the crater stands a remarkable central peak, formed when the immense energy of the impact liquefied Ganymede's crust and caused it to rebound upwards before solidifying once more. In this mesmerizing view, we witness Jupiter majestically gracing the horizon, even from a distance nearly three times greater than that between Earth and its moon. On the upper right side lies Ganymede's sister satellite Europa, positioned at a mere 307 thousand miles away – just slightly farther than Earth is from its own moon. Meanwhile, Jupiters volcanic satellite Io can be observed to the lower left at almost one million miles. Ganymede itself boasts diverse surface features; among them are rumpled bundles of ridges and grooves stretching for hundreds of miles across its frozen water-ice terrain. These formations likely originated during ancient tectonic forces that pulled apart Ganymede's upper crust – similar fault systems can be found on Earth in regions like eastern Africa. Over time, meteoritic impacts have peppered these running formations with breaks and disruptions. This extraordinary image was captured by Walter Myers from Stocktrek Images, serving as a testament to both his artistic vision and humanity's unending fascination with celestial bodies beyond our own planet.
