List Of Geological Features On Callisto
This is a list of named geological features on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. This list is complete as of August 2022. Catenae Callistoan catenae (crater chains) are named after rivers, valleys, and ravines in myths and folktales of cultures of the Far North (all current names come from Norse mythology). Craters Faculae Faculae (bright spots) on Callisto are named after characters related to frost, snow, cold, and sleet from myths and folktales of people of the Far North. Large ring features The enormous impact-related ring features on Callisto are named after places (other than rivers, valleys and ravines) from myths and folktales of the Far North.

Callisto USGS Map
CALLISTO (''Cooperative Action Leading to Launcher Innovation in Stage Toss-back Operations'') is a reusable VTVL demonstrator propelled by a small 40 kN Japanese LOX-LH2 rocket engine. It is being developed jointly by the French (CNES), German (DLR) and Japanese (JAXA) national space agencies. The goals for CALLISTO are to mature and demonstrate the technologies which are necessary to build and operate a reusable launch vehicle, but also to better assess the operational cost of such a vehicle. The first flight was originally planned to occur in late 2020; it has since been postponed to 2025 and later to 2026. Following the programme's conclusion, the experiences and technologies gained through CALLISTO will be harnessed to benefit other ongoing and future space programmes, such as the development of the European reusable launcher Ariane Next. CALLISTO is distinct from a similar project ''Themis'' under development by ESA and from the DLR-developed Reusable Flight Experiment ...

Valhalla
In Norse mythology, Valhalla ( , ; , )Orchard (1997:171–172) is described as a majestic hall located in Asgard and presided over by the god Odin. There were five possible realms the soul could travel to after death. The first was Fólkvangr, ruled by the goddess Freyja. The second was Hel, ruled by Hel, Loki's daughter. The third was that of the goddess Rán. The fourth was the Burial Mound where the dead could live. The fifth and last realm was Valhalla, ruled by Odin and was called the Hall of Heroes. The masses of those killed in combat (known as the einherjar), along with various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, live in Valhalla until Ragnarök, when they will march out of its many doors to fight in aid of Odin against the jötnar. Valhalla was idealized in Viking culture and gave the Scandinavians a widespread cultural belief that there is nothing more glorious than death in battle. The belief in a Viking paradise and eternal life in Valhalla with Odin may hav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Valhalla (crater)
Located on Jupiter's moon Callisto, Valhalla ( ) is the largest multi-ring impact crater in the Solar System. It is named after Valhalla, the hall where warriors are taken after death in Norse mythology. Valhalla consists of a bright central region 360 km across, an inner ridge and trough zone, and striking concentric rings extending up to about 1,900 km from the center. Several large impact craters and crater chains are superimposed on Valhalla. The multi-ring system may have formed as semi-liquid or liquid material underlying the brittle lithosphere punctured by the impactor slumped towards the center of the crater following the impact. General description Valhalla is the largest multi-ring basin on Callisto and in the Solar System (with diameter up to 3,800 km). It was discovered by the Voyager probes in 1979–80 and is located on the leading hemisphere of Callisto, in its Jupiter facing quadrant slightly to the north of the equator (at about 18°N lat ...

Útgarðar
In Norse mythology, Útgarðar (literally: "Outyards", the plural of Útgarðr; the word can, according to Old Norse orthography, be anglicized as Utgard, Utgardar and in other ways) surrounded a stronghold of the jötnar. They are associated with Útgarða-Loki, a great and devious jotunn featured in one of the myths concerning Thor and the other Loki who competed in rigged competitions held in the Outyards. These outdoor arenas contrasted with the putrid, indoor cave where Útgarða-Loki is said to have dwelt, when chained, in the 12th-century ''Gesta Danorum''. In another version of Norse mythology, Utgard is thought to be the last of the three worlds connected to Yggdrasil, being the home of the external cosmic forces. Utgard needs to be compared with the Midgard, the world of human affairs, and Asgard, variously attested at the crux of the matter, the centre of the world, as identified with Troy by Snorri Sturluson Snorri Sturluson ( ; ; 1179 – 22 September 1241) ...

Asgard
In Nordic mythology, Asgard (Old Norse: ''Ásgarðr''; "Garden of the Æsir") is a location associated with the gods. It appears in several Old Norse sagas and mythological texts, including the Eddas, however it has also been suggested to be referred to indirectly in some of these sources. It is described as the fortified home of the Æsir gods and is often associated with gold imagery and contains many other locations known in Nordic mythology such as Valhöll, Iðavöllr and Hlidskjálf. In some euhemeristic accounts, Asgard is portrayed as being a city in Asia or Troy, however in other accounts that likely more accurately reflect its conception in Old Norse religion, it is depicted as not conforming to a naturalistic geographical position. In these latter accounts, it is found in a range of locations such as over the rainbow bridge Bifröst, in the middle of the world and over the sea. Etymology The compound word ''Ásgarðr'' combines Old Norse ' ("god") and ("enclo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asgard (crater)
Asgard is the second largest multi-ringed basin (large impact crater) on Jupiter's moon Callisto. It is named after Asgard, the realm of the gods in Norse mythology. Asgard is located at a latitude of 32° and a longitude of 142°. The estimated crater retention age of Asgard is circa 4.04. The central part of Asgard is dominated by the domed Doh impact crater. Since multi-ring basins are some of the largest, oldest, and rarest types of craters, they are less understood. Images were first taken of the Asgard basin by the Voyager 1 spacecraft. Later, the Galileo spacecraft had several close flybys near Callisto producing several images with resolution as high as 15 m/pixel. Based on Galileo data, the central region of Asgard is expected to be ~ 250 km in diameter, the ring structure reaches ~ 1880 km in diameter, and the crater is suspected to have a ~675 km rim diameter. The outer rim is representative of the ejecta or secondaries with the radii of ~675 km. The basin appears to h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Inuit Mythology
Inuit religion is the shared spiritual beliefs and practices of the Inuit, an Indigenous peoples of the Americas, indigenous people from Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, and parts of Siberia. Their religion shares many similarities with some Alaska Native religions. Traditional Inuit religious practices include animism and shamanism, in which spiritual healers mediate with spirits. Today many Inuit follow Christianity (with 71 percent of Canadian Inuit identifying as Christian ); however, traditional Inuit spirituality continues as part of a living, oral tradition and part of contemporary Inuit society. Inuit who balance indigenous and Christian theology practice religious syncretism. Inuit cosmology provides a narrative about the world and the place of people within it. Rachel Qitsualik-Tinsley writes: Traditional stories, rituals, and taboos of the Inuit are often precautions against dangers posed by their harsh Arctic environment.

Adlinda (crater)
Adlinda is the third-largest multiring structure (impact crater) on Jupiter's moon Callisto, measuring roughly 1000 km in diameter. It is situated in the southern hemisphere of Callisto. The name is taken from Inuit mythology. The relatively young, large Lofn In Norse mythology, Lofn (Old Norse: , possibly "comforter,"Orchard (1997:104). "the comforter, the mild,"Simek (2007:190). or "loving"Byock (2005:168).) is a goddess. Lofn is attested in the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri St ... impact crater is superposed on Adlinda. The bright deposits from this crater cover about 30% of the surface of Adlinda hindering detailed study. Lofn is an example of a flat floored impact crater.
