Freckles on Europa?
The surface of Europa shows many signs that there may be an ocean submerged under it's icy surface. For example, in this picture, the dimples, shown in red, may be a sign of material falling into a water layer. Another possibility is that they are produced by material rising from a moving water layer underneath. The dark spots in this picture are called "lenticulae", which is the Latin term for freckles.
Other signs of an ocean under the surface of Europa include:
*
flooded terrain
*
rafting
*
'mushy' craters, and
*
spreading centers.

This is an example of the surface of Europa. The surface may be flooded by fresh water from underground, which freezes when it touches the surface. The edges of the flow are rounded, like a puddle of water.

Amalthea was discovered by E Barnard in 1872. Of the 17 moons it is the 3rd closest to Jupiter, with a standoff distance of 181,300 km. Amalthea is about the size of a county or small state, and is just

Callisto was first discovered by Galileo in 1610, making it one of the Galilean Satellites. Of the 60 moons it is the 8th closest to Jupiter, with a standoff distance of 1,070,000 km. It is the 2nd largest
