Possible landing zone on icy Europa? Castalia Macula, an unusually dark region over 60 miles (100 kilometers) north to south, near Europa's equator. That area consists of two sky high domes, separated by what appears to be a flat frozen pond of dark material. The pond's apparent smoothness might make it an ideal, relatively safe place to set down a lander. CREDIT: NASA/JPL
