My dude lookin' like the surface of Europa.
Oh wow, that's awesome. I've been reading the 2001: A Space Odyssey trilogy, which centers around Jupiter and Europa, so this helps me visualize the moon! It's way more cracked with streaks of red than I imagined.
Weren't there four books in that series?
You're right! 3001: The Final Odyssey. I only have the first three so I didn't realize there was a fourth. Thanks for mentioning it!
To be fair, I think it's an enhanced image. Actual moon color is more subdued if I recall. But the enhanced images are always what come to mind for me 😊
