A revised zodiacal light model (ZodiSURF) adds wavelength-dependent analytical scattering phase function and albedo fitted to over 5,000 HST optical measurements, yielding ~4.5% uncertainty and revealing a 0.013 +/- 0.006 MJy/sr residual excess possibly from a dim spherical dust cloud.

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges
3D thermal modeling indicates self-heating in Europa double-ridge troughs forms dark lag layers via thermal segregation in 10-100 years at latitudes below 60 degrees, with net mass balance highly sensitive to global water exosphere density.
