Natural Satellites

Io

Thanks to tidal heating, Io experiences extreme geologic activity, making it the driest and most volcanically active object in the Sol System.

Europa

Europa's icy surface makes it one of the most reflective moons in the Sol System.

Ganymede

Ganymede is the Sol System's largest moon and the only one with a magnetosphere. It is bigger than Mercury and only slightly smaller than Mars.

Callisto

The tidally locked surface of Callisto is the oldest and most heavily cratered in Sol.
