more »

More than 400 years after its discovery by Galileo, the largest moon in the solar system has finally claimed a spot on the map. A team of scientists has produced the first global geologic map of Ganymede, a Galilean moon of Jupiter. The map technically illustrates the varied geologic character of Ganymede's surface, and is the first complete global geologic map of an icy, outer-planet moon.
