This is the highest resolution image taken by Galileo at Europa — Jupiter’s 4th largest moon — until our next mission to the planet. It was obtained at an original image scale of 19 feet (6 meters) per pixel. The gray line down the middle resulted from missing data that was not transmitted by Galileo.

Our solar system is a pathetic dump. Sad!

We do have a new mission to Jupiter (Juno) but it isn't looking at moons, even pics are a secondary concern.

Look at those cracks. So uneven, so short. My cracks will be 50 feet taller, and Mexico will pay for them.
