Callisto Surface
A portion of a chain of impact craters on Jupiter's moon Callisto is seen in this image taken by the Galileo spacecraft. This crater chain on Callisto is believed to result from the impact of a split object, similar to the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 which smashed into Jupiter's atmosphere in July of 1994.
