While Jupiter itself may seem like an inhospitable gas giant, its numerous moons offer some of the most promising,and underexplored,opportunities for human colonization in our solar system. This video ...

No mission has come this close to Ganymede in over 20 years, since the Galileo spacecraft made a final close approach in 2000. It was this mission that discovered the moon’s magnetic field and ...

Ganymede is our solar system’s largest moon, with a diameter 41 percent of Earth’s. It’s also the only moon known to have its own magnetic field. Juno is NASA’s mission to understand how ...

Two recent studies published in Icarus examine tectonic processes known as shear stresses which are also referred to as strike-slip faults on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, and Saturn’s largest moon, ...

The furrows found on the older, Dark Terrain, areas of Ganymede’s surface could actually be parts of a single, giant, multi-ring impact crater. Tsunehiko Kato, 4D2U Project, NAOJ ...

New stereo images of Ganymede, the solar system's largest satellite, suggest that eruptions of water or slushy ice a billion or more years ago gave parts of the moon a facelift, creating long ...

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and it's even bigger than Mercury and Pluto, according to NASA. Scientists believe that, not unlike Earth, this world boasts both a magnetosphere ...

At nearly 3,300 miles in diameter, Ganymede is also the solar system’s largest moon—bigger even than the 3,030-mile wide planet Mercury. But that doesn’t mean it’s impervious to a pounding.

This image of the Jovian moon Ganymede was obtained by the JunoCam imager aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft during its June 7, 2021, flyby of the icy moon. At the time of closest approach, Juno was ...
