Callisto is expected to be captured into the resonance in about 1.5 billion years, completing the 1:2:4:8 chain. [45] Like most other regular planetary moons, Callisto's rotation is locked to be synchronous with its orbit. [4] The length of Callisto's day, simultaneously its orbital period, is about 16.7 Earth days.
Titian's Diana and Callisto (1559) portrays the moment when Callisto's pregnancy is discovered. As a follower of Artemis, Callisto, who Hesiod said [6] was the daughter of Lycaon, king of Arcadia, [7] took a vow to remain a virgin, as did all the nymphs of Artemis.

Callisto is surrounded by an extremely thin atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide [49] and probably molecular oxygen. [50] Investigation revealed that Callisto may possibly have a subsurface ocean of liquid water at depths less than 300 kilometres. [51] The likely presence of an ocean within Callisto indicates that it can or could harbour life.
Galileo visited Callisto on orbits C3, C9 and C100 during the prime mission, and then on C20, C21, C22 and C23 during the GEM. When the cameras observed Callisto close up, there was a puzzling absence of small craters. The surface features appeared to have been eroded, indicating that they had been subject to active geological processes. [220 ...
