i did lots of hard research and i check MExLab Geoportal
and bam i found a real europa DEM
its mighty blurry but blurry global/near complete global data>no/tiny data strips

that map looks like it is in Mercator projection ( with missing poles )
and not in Equal area simple cylindrical projection

you might want to check with the original source documentation

Celestia uses the simple cylindrical map projection
-- or cubic projection

no... i reprogected it to simple cylindrical map projection
to see if it was already cylindrical map projection or mercater and when i
did that and check and see if some of the fetures line up nothing lined up
but with the map i posted things do line up

i removed artifacts (those big seam like lines) and gave the dem fictional poles
