That's a great picture of Io; I hadn't seen anything from a flyover that close before.

I don't know where you're seeing cracks; that's sand, bro. Besides, considering where that photo was taken, close to the equator, I doubt there's much by way of water like at the poles.

HELLS YEAHH SPACE THREAD

earth goes at about 30 K/s around the sun
Now the orbital speed is proportional to the inverse square root of its orbital distance

Earth=1 Au away from the sun
Mars=1.52 away from the sun

so (1.52/1)^1/2=1.23288

so 30/1.23288=24.3

mars goes about 24.3 Km/s

this is just a rough calculation
Earths actual average orbital speed is 29.78 km/s
and mars is 24.077 km/s

It's a matter of contrast.

You can't see the milky way on Earth during the day, everything else is too bright.

Likewise in space, you can't see the milky way if you've got sunlight bouncing off everything else drowning out the view.

Here, have a ring galaxy.
