  • With ESA's upcoming JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission to Jupiter and Ganymede, this book provides a fascinating and timely summary of our current knowledge about Ganymede: the largest moon in the Solar System and the only one with an intrinsic magnetic field. Written by a team of multidisciplinary experts spanning geology, space physics and habitability, it provides up-to-date knowledge about Ganymede. The history of its discovery, formation, surface, atmosphere and space environment are discussed in accessible language and supported by the enormous amount of data obtained by Galileo, the Hubble Space Telescope and earlier missions. The latest surface maps of Ganymede are also presented, providing an invaluable reference for graduate students and researchers working in planetary science.

  • Summary

    Echoing the Somerset proverb quoted by John Ray, we can state that if we have only one celestial body, that is too few objects to study celestial dynamics. A system with two bodies, as we saw in the previous chapter, contains interesting physics. But what about a three-body system? We might conclude, considering the possible complexity of such a system, that it contains too many objects to be tractable.

  • Summary

    Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
