There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Maps of ion precipitation on Europa. Orange areas indicate areas hit by energetic ions; blue areas are unaltered surfaces. Simulations with thermoplasmic deflection (left) suggest larger areas of unaltered surface compared with simulations without thermoplasmic deflection (right).
