(1/2) Europa's color and contrast varies greatly depending on the viewing geometry, even when the illumination geometry doesn't change much. Here is a particularly striking example using Galileo G1 and E14 images.

A map-projected time-lapse of contrast enhanced Cassini images obtained from September 6, 2004 to October 1, 2004 with the MT1 filter. The interval between the images isn't uniform. The prominent spot above and left of center is at planetographic latitude ~45 degrees south.
