However, i think if you are looking at smaller features like the outline of a caldera and other more specific details… it would probably look more like at least a few months to see those changes. i don’t think major features change on Io near that quickly. i suppose if you are counting color and deposits left by active volcanoes… yes. but in reality, major details and features seen on Io when voyager passed in the 80’s were still present for galileo in the 90’s.

I would still accept the globes as a present though!
