Jupiter&#8217;s moon Ganymede, larger than even Mercury and Pluto, has an icy surface speckled with bright young craters overlying a mixture of older, darker, more cratered terrain laced with grooves and ridges. The cause of the grooved terrain remains a topic of research, with a leading hypothesis relating it to shifting ice plates. Ganymede is thought to have an ocean layer that contains more water than Earth &#8212; and might contain life. Like Earth&#8217;s Moon, Ganymede keeps the same face towards its central planet, in this case Jupiter. The featured image was captured in 2021 by NASA&#8217;s robotic Juno spacecraft when it passed by the immense moon. The close pass reduced Juno&#8217;s orbital period around Jupiter from 53 days to 43 days. Juno continues to study the giant planet&#8217;s high gravity, unusual magnetic field, and complex cloud structures. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap231128.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does the largest moon in the Solar System look like?
