Callisto is the outermost of Jupiter's large moons.
Only slightly smaller than the planet Mercury, (roughly
3000 miles in diameter) Callisto is the most heavily
cratered moon in our solar system.
With the oldest surface in our solar system, Callisto's
exterior still displays the elements it was born with
over four billion years ago.
Though the geology of Callisto remains a mystery, there
is evidence that below its ancient, icy surface may
lay a narrow salty ocean. |
