Enki Catena Craters on Ganymede

Enki Catena, a chain of 13 craters on Jupiter's moon, Ganymede. These craters were probably formed by a comet which was pulled into pieces by Jupiter's gravity as it passed too close to the planet. Soon after this breakup, the 13 fragments crashed onto Ganymede in rapid succession. The Enki craters formed across a sharp boundary between areas of bright terrain and dark terrain, delimited by a thin trough running diagonally across the centre of this image. North is to the bottom of the picture and the sun illuminates the surface from the left. The image was captured by NASA's Galileo spacecraft on April 5, 1997.
