NASA's Breathtaking Findings on Ganymede: Exploring the Marvels of Jupiter's Largest Moon

In this video, we'll be taking a look at Ganymede, one of thelargest moons in the Solar System, and its role in the universe.
Ganymede is a fascinating moon, and it's worth watching the documentary NASA released about it a few months ago. If you're a astronomy lover, then you won't want to miss this video!

    Fact-packed post. I especially appreciate the rich and authentic image material that wasn't thrown together wildly by some pointless AI. Good job! In my imagination I see a human probe on Ganymede and a thermonuclear battery slowly but steadily melting through the kilometer-thick ice. Then suddenly: water, liquid water full of life!☺

    Reminds me of the Expanse TV show , said to be one of the most realistic and scientifically accurate shows According to some physicists the way they were able to do that in the future was developing a new type of Drive that allows us to burn constantly towards our destination flip around at the halfway mark and burn constantly to decelerate and enter orbit around whatever object you're headed towards.

    Ganymede has always been my favorite because of its magnetic field in particular! It also is beginning to be apparent to me that our solar system has a lot of water in it many locations holding more water than earth! You folks are awesome and I'm glad your here to help us understand our solar system! 😀

    With the surface ice on Ganymede thought to be several tens of kilometres thick and, at the assumed surface temperature, almost as hard as steel, getting any sort of submarine down to the ocean below might prove problematic. Given that the relatively smooth ice surface on Europa is newer than Ganymede’s, a similar mission might have more success.

    It's not that they haven't tried. Not many people know about this but back in the early 90's a manned team was sent out to Jupiter's icy moon Europa, on a ship called the Aurora to undertake in a small scale survey project. Its tasks were to drop insulated weather stations and camera probes onto the moons surface and complete several small scale experiments before turning round and heading for home. From what I can gather, a few years into the mission all contact was lost. No data was ever sent sent back regarding their fate and the crew were never heard from again. No one can be sure wether they made it to their destination or not. Maybe it was a downed transmitter? Maybe it was something else? It's only recently that some of the files concerning this strange mission have begun to see the light of day. I'm hoping the JUICE flyby will shed some light on the Aurora and its missing crew once and for all.
