Scientific paper

This NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) video release presents a news briefing from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) featuring video presentations by Dr. Alfred McEwen (Univ. of Arizona, Lunar and Planetary Lab.), Dr. Ronald Greeley (Arizona St. Univ.), Dr. Andrew Ingersoll (California Inst. of Tech.,), and Dr. Diana Blaney (Jet Propulsion Lab.). Discussions center on the atmospheric and surface features of Jupiter and two of its moons, Europa and Io. Possible energy mechanisms that create atmospheric features of Jupiter, such as the Great Red Spot, as well as possible thunderstorm and lightning activity associated with these features are included. Discussions of the craters and fractures on the icy surface of Europa, surface features of Io, two of which are named Loki and Pele, believed to be of volcanic origin, as well infrared observations of volcanism on Io are presented. The individual presentations are followed by a question and answer period with questions posed by scientific journalists from JPL and other NASA centers. The video ends with computer animations, as well as actual footage, of features on Jupiter and its satellites taken from the Galileo spacecraft. Some of these images were seen previously in the individual presentations.
