This incredible instrument tracked the composition of Ganymede’s surface in great detail, noting features as small as 1 kilometer wide. If JIRAM were looking at New York City, it would be able ...

This impact that caused Ganymede to shatter hasn't left an obvious crater because it basically splashed the surface, which filled in the hole soon afterward. And that's where things get interesting.

Like Europa, Ganymede is thought to have an interior ocean, but it does not appear to be in contact with the surface. Ganymede is the main target of a European spacecraft, JUICE, which launched ...

Just like Earth's moon, Ganymede is tidally locked, meaning the same side constantly faces Jupiter's swirling, storm-covered surface. Researchers believe the moon has a roughly 60-mile-deep (100 ...

Ganymede, which is 50% larger than our own moon, has an ocean beneath its icy surface – up to 60 miles deep – and is suspected of being able to support primitive life.
