NASA scientists have produced the first global geological map of Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede by combining images from over twenty years of observation by the Voyager spacecraft and the Galileo ...

Daytime temperatures on the surface average ranging from minus 171 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 297 F, according to NASA. Ganymede is the only satellite in the solar system to have a magnetosphere.

Like Europa, Ganymede is thought to have a subsurface ocean, which means it could have the ingredients to support life as we know it. However, the mission team worked with NASA's Planetary ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft at Jupiter this week got to within 645 miles/1,000 kilometers of Ganymede, the Solar System’s largest moon. The spacecraft’s JunoCam imaging system had just 25 minutes ...

Jupiter's moon Ganymede had a visitor from Earth on Monday. NASA's Juno spacecraft zoomed by in the afternoon, just 645 miles above the surface of the solar system's largest moon. It's the first ...

mission and NASA’s upcoming Europa Clipper mission could allow scientists to image landslides on the icy moons of Europa and Ganymede due to potential moonquakes on these small worlds.

That’s 10 times deeper than the ocean on Earth. Ganymede is having a moment because NASA’s Juno mission observed salts and organic compounds on its surface, possibly from an ocean that lies ...

A mess of salt and organic chemicals splattered across the ice on Ganymede could be a hint that its hidden ocean contains the right stuff for life. NASA’s Juno mission recently revealed that the ...

A recent study published in Nature Astronomy examines how NASA’s Juno spacecraft identified the presence of mineral salts and organic compounds on Jupiter’s third Galilean moon, Ganymede, which ...
