Summary
[edit]
| Description | Within seconds of its closest approach to 243 Ida on August 28, 1993, Galileo captured this SSI image of Ida's previously unknown moon orbiting the asteroid. The dark side of this moon is illuminated by light reflected from the sunlit side of Ida, in the same way that Earthshine brightens the dark part of Earth's Moon when only a thin sunlit crescent shows.
