Callisto is the outermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. It orbits at a distance of approximately 1,880,000 km (26.3 times the 71,492 km radius of Jupiter itself). [3] This is significantly larger than the orbital radius—1,070,000 km—of the next-closest Galilean satellite, Ganymede.

This is a list of named craters on Callisto, one of the many moons of Jupiter, the most heavily cratered natural satellite in the Solar System (for other features, see list of geological features on Callisto).
Valhalla is the largest multi-ring basin on Callisto and in the Solar System (with diameter up to 3,800 km). [4] It was discovered by the Voyager probes in 1979–80 and is located on the leading hemisphere of Callisto, in its Jupiter facing quadrant slightly to the north of the equator (at about 18°N latitude and 57°W longitude).
Adlinda is the third-largest multiring structure (impact crater) on Jupiter's moon Callisto, measuring roughly 1000 km in diameter. [1] It is situated in the southern hemisphere of Callisto. The name is taken from Inuit mythology. The relatively young, large Lofn impact crater is superposed on Adlinda. [1]
Callisto (Jupiter IV) is the fourth and last Galilean moon, and is the second-largest of the four, and at 4820.6 kilometers in diameter, it is the third largest moon in the Solar System, and barely smaller than Mercury, though only a third of the latter's mass.
