<p>Originally published here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3419443">Europa with approximate topography scaled one in twenty million by tato_713 - Thingiverse</a></p><p>This model was made with MATLAB r2016a with the map from the JPL Solar System Simulator. I'm not sure if this map is a topographic, or a texture map because it is not explicit there, but it's likely when compared with other maps.&nbsp;</p><p>The file's names explained: <i>name_1_x_10_y.stl</i> is 1 : x * 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.&nbsp;</p><h4>J2 Europa</h4><p>Europa is the second in distance from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3928031">Jupiter</a> and the fourth in size of the Galilean moons. It is though that below the ice in the surface it is a liquid water ocean, and it was early speculated that this ocean could hold life, with the geotermal heating from the tidal interactions with Jupiter and the other Galilean Moons (<a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57270-io-with-known-topography-scaled-one-in-twenty-mill">Io</a>, <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3686218">Ganymede</a> and <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3686246">Callisto</a>).</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Jupiter&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbital period:</strong> 3.551 d.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Composition:</strong> Silicate rock.
