Ganymed is almost as big as the planet Mars - and it’s absolutely dwarfed by Jupiter. Amazing pictures.
Jupiter is by far my favorite planet, other than Home Sweet Home. She has the most lovely names for her moons, too!
Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
I’m starting a movement to call Earth’s Moon, ‘Selene’ which is Greek for ‘Moon.’
Yes, I know. Until Galileo discovered Jupiter’s moons, we thought Earth was the only planet WITH a Moon, so there was no need to name it.
But still. She DESERVES a pretty name, don’t you agree?
Let’s make this happen, People, LOL! :)
