Tags: Crater.
Enki Catena is a crater chain on Ganymede measuring 161.3 kilometres (100.2 mi) long.This chain of 13 craters probably formed by a comet which was pulled into pieces by Jupiter’s gravity as it passed too close to the planet. Soon after this breakup the 13 fragments crashed onto Ganymede in rapid succession. The Enki craters formed across the sharp boundary between areas of bright terrain and dark terrain delimited by a thin trough running diagonally across the center of this image.
