Only sites specifically dealing with Jupiter's moons or a single moon. Sites dealing with the Jupiter system in general should be placed in the Jupiter category more information (editors only) |
Sites dealing with Jupiter's 17 natural satellites. The main satellites are the Galilean satellites: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto
| Only sites concerning Callisto, either in a general sense, like an overview of Callisto, or a specific aspect of Callisto, like the Asgard basin, should be submitted to this category. |
Callisto is the 8th moon out from Jupiter and is the second largest moon of Jupiter. Callisto is covered with craters, but there appears to be something resurfacing small craters. Callisto is believed to have a water ice ocean much like Europa, except under a thicker outer shell.
|
Only sites dealing with Europa, both in general or dealing with a specific aspect of Europan science are applicable for this category. |
Europa is the 6th moon out from Jupiter and is the smallest Galilean satellite. Its is covered in a water ice shell, underneath which may be a liquid water ocean. In that ocean may exist life.
| This category is for sites and pages dealing with Ganymede, either specifically or generally, like in overviews. |
Ganymede is the 6th moon out from Jupiter and is the largest moon in the solar system. Ganymede is crisscrossed by belts of grooved terrain separating dark, heavily cratered terrain.
|
Please limit sites in this subcat to those dealing with Himalia alone. Image sites are acceptable due to the current paucity of images of this small moon. |

Sites in this category can be general (i.e. an overview) or specific (i.e. a site on Io's atmosphere). Only sites or pages dealing with Io only are permitted in this category. more information (editors only) |
Io is the 5th moon out from Jupiter and is known for its extreme volcanism. Io surface consists of large volcanoes, tall mountains, and plains covered in sulfur dioxide frost
