Ganymede's magnetic field is probably created by convection within its core, and influenced by tidal forces from Jupiter's far greater magnetic field. [23] Ganymede has a thin oxygen atmosphere that includes O, O 2, and possibly O 3 . [17] Atomic hydrogen is a minor atmospheric constituent.
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, ... more enhanced image of Ganymede: 06:49, 13 May 2015: 3,000 × 2,026 (2.96 MB)
Planetary scientists from the University of Leicester’s School of Physics and Astronomy unveiled new images of Europa and Ganymede, two future destinations for new missions to the giant planet ...
Ganymede orbits Jupiter in roughly seven days and is in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with Europa and Io. This image, a composite of three photographs taken by the NASA space probe Juno during a flyby in 2021, depicts the northern hemisphere of Ganymede roughly centered around the prime meridian.
This image of the dark side of the Jovian moon Ganymede was obtained by the Stellar Reference Unit star camera aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during its June 7, 2021, flyby of the icy moon.
NASA expects more colorful images soon. NASA's Juno probe at Jupiter beamed back close-up photos of the planet's largest moon, Ganymede, for the first time in 2 decades Skip to main content
The largest, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the Solar System and surpasses the planet Mercury in size (though not mass). Callisto is only slightly smaller than Mercury in size; the smaller ones, Io and Europa, are about the size of the Moon. The three inner moons — Io, Europa, and Ganymede — are in a 4:2:1 orbital resonance with
