Callisto in True Color
Callisto, the most distant of Jupiter's Galilean moons, has the highest density of impact craters in the solar system. It shows no volcanoes or large mountains, just cracks and craters from billions of years of collisions. This true-color image was taken by the Galileo spacecraft in November 1997.
