A drawing showing the longwave radiation emitted from a point source of Jupiter, reaching Europa. The relative dimensions are not realistic as the distance between Jupiter and Europa is 10 times the radius of Jupiter and the radius of Europa is 45 times smaller than the radius of Jupiter. The inset shows a scaled configuration of Jupiter (black circle) and Europa (red dot that is indicated by the arrow).
