Figure 8: Wild 2 Stereo Anaglyph
JPEG Image (938K)

A stereo anaglyph (magenta on right) of comet Wild 2 shows the comet and jets seen as sunlight reflected from outward-flowing dust and rocks. Unusual jets from the shadowed side can be seen coming from Walker, on the right side of the nucleus, and from a region below Walker.

Rahe Crater on Wild 2
JPEG Image (516K)

Stereo view of the Rahe, a pit halo crater in the northern regions of Wild 2. This kilometer feature is similar microcraters found on lunar rocks but it is a morphology never seen before for large craters. It is believed to have formed by the high speed impact of a body on a cohesive surface under microgravity conditions.

Mayo Region, Wild 2
JPEG Image (159K)

Stereo view of the Mayo region, an irregular depression with containing s everal active jets. Notable features include the two steep sided blocks resting on the depression floor.

The bight spot in the central region of Hemenway is a mystery. It might be the location cooled by escaping gas.
