Description
English: This image of the south polar region of the Jovian satellite Callisto was taken in twilight by the Galileo spacecraft on its eighth orbit around Jupiter. Craters ranging in size from 60 kilometers (36 miles) down to the limit of resolution are visible in this image. Scientists count the number of craters on a planetary surface to estimate its relative (and sometimes absolute) age. Note that many of the craters are not as sharp in appearance as the two large craters near the bottom of the image. This is an indication that some process has eroded the craters since their formation.
