Scientific paper

Images taken early in the orbital phase of the Galileo mission reveal
the presence of a large, indistinct, circular structure on the
anti-Jovian hemisphere of Europa. It is shown why none of the proposed
mechanisms explain some of the fractures and boundaries of the feature
and why the feature may be an ancient impact scar.
