Moons of the Giant Planets Reading is actually in the earlier chapters of the text: 2,3,4 that we have already done

The Galilean Moons of Jupiter Io Europa Ganymede Callisto

Volcanoes of Io

Io

Europa

Europa

Ganymede

Ganymede

Callisto No sign of volcanic or tectonic activity But magnetic field measurements say that a salty ocean beneath the icy surface cannot be ruled out

Callisto

Moons of Saturn

Titan

Cassini’s view of Titan in the IR

Mosaics from Cassini flyby

Cassini – radar mapping of Titan

From 8km up

Mosaic of descent images

Enceladus has an atmosphere

Uranus’s Moon Miranda Not one of the largest moons, but shows an apparently fresh surface

Neptune’s Moon Triton Triton is larger than Pluto and has a peculiar orbit It orbits in a retrograde direction, in a plane highly inclined to that of Neptune’s equator

Triton – “seas” of ice or slush?
