Jeffrey M. Moore,Erik Asphaug,David Morrison,John R. Spencer,Clark R. Chapman,B. Bierhaus,Robert Sullivan,Frank C. Chuang,James E. Klemaszewski,Ronald Greeley,K. C. Bender,Paul Geissler,Paul Helfenstein,Carl B. Pilcher +13 more
TL;DR: The Galileo mission has revealed remarkable evidence of mass movement and landform degradation on the icy Galilean satellites of Jupiter as discussed by the authors, of which Callisto exhibits discrete mass movements that are larger and apparently more common than seen elsewhere.

Wind-Related Features and Processes on Venus: Summary of Magellan Results
TL;DR: A search of Magellan synthetic aperture radar images covering approximately 98% of the venusian surface shows that aeolian features occur at all longitudes and latitudes as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Galileo spacecraft carries a 1500-nm focal length camera with a 800 × 800 CCD detector that will provide images with a spatial resolution of 10 μrad/pixel as mentioned in this paper, which will be used by the imaging experiment to obtain high-resolution coverage of selected targets, to fill gaps left in the Voyager coverage, to extend global color coverage of each satellite, and to follow changes in the volcanic activity of Io.

TL;DR: Corona flows as discussed by the authors is a type of volcanic material that originates at corona structure either from fractures or large rises within structure, and contacts with adjacent units typically sharp; material may form radial pattern around source area; source areas typically composed of numerous small edifices or single larger construct.
