According to David Morrison in the introduction to the book "Satellites of Jupiter," both Americans and Russians can lay some claim to the discovery. He writes: "Near-infrared photometry provided the first clue to surface composition; in a landmark abstract Kuiper (1957) suggested from limited data, never published, that Europa and Ganymede had water ice surfaces, and Moroz (1961) later came to the same conclusion from similar broadband infrared observations."

Galileo imaging shows that Europa's surface is sparsely cratered, meaning that the surface is probably young. Simulations of comet and asteroid orbits indicate that it is primarily comets which slam into Europa and the other Galilean satellites. From the modeled and observed numbers of comets in the vicinity of Jupiter today, estimates can be made for the surface age of Europa based on the number and sizes of the moon's impact craters.

Europa.* is an international hierarchy for topics covering the continent of Europe. It enables discussion between people from different european countries. More information can be found on the europa.* website: http://www.europa.usenet.eu.org/ For an actual list of europa.* newsgroups, please refer to the current europa-checkgroups, which can be found here: http://www.europa.usenet.eu.org/checkgrps.html

Probably not. As far as we know, no one has made much money selling a 48HFP film. However, some of our filmmakers have had success with their films in other festivals including SXSW; one team won a $100K filmmaking package at a festival; and filmmakers have used recognition of their 48HFP film to get paying work. Additionally, we at the 48HFP have set up an arrangement whereby if we're able to earn money by distributing your film, you will receive a portion of that money.

Inadequate draining of vegetables before freezing, slow freezing or fluctuation of storage temperatures above 0°F may cause undesirable formation of large and excessive ice crystals. This can affect the texture as well as appearance of frozen vegetables.

I doubt it. Hardly any model earns more than a london PA at best. Most models learn to live the life early in their careers, the Gucci, Prada etc & this all costs. So most models have to suppliment their income with dancing in a club etc as this pays (generally) a lot more than modeling. So don't be fooled into thinking you will drive a Z4 & holliday in Marbella, unles you are a household name, and a good one at that. Find a football player. Time for Print is very simple.

Hallett Gutter Cover® won't solve any ice problems, but it will not create any new ones. It helps eliminate ice build up in your gutters and downspouts, which can lead to severe damage. Ice and snow will sit on top of the cover, not in your gutters.

It sublimates and returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. CO2 is a naturally occurring element that constitutes less than 1% of our atmosphere.

If you want to clear your surface to a uniform, opaque color then it is quite straightforward: /* Set surface to opaque color (r, g, b) */ cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, r, g, b); cairo_paint (cr); However, what if you want to clear the surface to something other than an opaque color.

If you have some surface source which you'd like to paint to some surface destination at position (x, y) you would use code as follows: cairo_t *cr = cairo_create (destination); cairo_set_source_surface (cr, source, x, y); cairo_paint (cr); Note that the paint operation will copy the entire surface.

A Rich?Burn Engine is a spark-ignited, Otto-cycle or two-stroke engine that is operated with gaseous fuel as defined in Rule 431.1 and with an exhaust stream oxygen concentration of less than 4 percent by volume. A Lean?Burn Engine is a spark-ignited, Otto-cycle or two-stroke engine that is operated with gaseous fuel as defined in Rule 431.1 and with an exhaust stream oxygen concentration of 4 percent by volume, or greater.

Europa.* is a multilingual hierarchy, i.e. messages are allowed in any language in use in Europe. There is no 'reference language' on europa.* and multilingual threads are encouraged. Every document, like this FAQ, is published in as many languages as possible. If you consider that some document is missing a translation in a special language, you can send a message to the steering group at: contact@europa.usenet.eu.org and, much better, propose a translation of your own. :-)

Usual Usenet rules for posting of course applies to europa.* and some more are requested by its specific multilingual nature: stated above (see 1.3.), you are advised to state clearly in your posts what languages you can understand, even if you are not fluent in writing them. On the other hand, when answering, please do your best to use a language you are aware the previous sender understands.

Canon Europa NV is located approximately 18km South-West of Amsterdam in Amstelveen. You can find details of how to reach us in the Our Locations section.

There are around 500 people employed in Amstelveen. This includes more than 80 expatriates from Japan and about the same number of expatriates from other countries. We also employ a further 11,000 people across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

In close-up pictures of Europa's "chaos" region, it can be seen that there are "blocks" or "plates" which have moved about relative to one another. These have informally been referred to as "icebergs," but this term is improperly suggestive, invoking visions of ice chunks floating in terrestrial polar seas. On Europa it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to melt from a subsurface ocean all the way to the surface.

Launch of the Europa Orbiter mission has been delayed until perhaps 2006 or 2007. Travel time to Jupiter is about 3 years, then it takes another 2.5 years or so to drop into Europa orbit. This means arrival in 2013 or 2014. The mission itself would last only a month or two after that, but enough to make critical measurements.
