The DATE column is the date of closest approach for Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, and Jupiter, but is the range of dates for which observations are made for Small Satellites, Rings, and Io.

The BEST RESOLUTION column is in units of distance/pxl, where pxl is short for pixel, which is an individual picture element. Our camera will produce images that are 800 pixels by 800 pixels.
