NASA's Breathtaking Findings on Ganymede: Exploring the Marvels of Jupiter's Largest Moon

In this video, we'll be taking a look at Ganymede, one of thelargest moons in the Solar System, and its role in the universe.
Ganymede is a fascinating moon, and it's worth watching the documentary NASA released about it a few months ago. If you're a astronomy lover, then you won't want to miss this video!

Fact-packed post. I especially appreciate the rich and authentic image material that wasn't thrown together wildly by some pointless AI. Good job! In my imagination I see a human probe on Ganymede and a thermonuclear battery slowly but steadily melting through the kilometer-thick ice. Then suddenly: water, liquid water full of life!☺

[@leebode4643]

Yes, good thing they used rich and authentic image material that was placed together carefully by a meaningful AI.

[@redrobur68]

😀@@leebode4643 Of course you will be right. I still believe that we can still tell the difference between a sloppily written prompt whose information is simply uploaded or: someone actually looked at it.

[@DynamicAlex]

Wow... this is how Docu's should be done...Just pure information, well explained, well planned, with associated images that at least have a sense with the exposed arguments...

[@lambeausouth1]

Ganymede has always been my favorite because of its magnetic field in particular! It also is beginning to be apparent to me that our solar system has a lot of water in it many locations holding more water than earth! You folks are awesome and I'm glad your here to help us understand our solar system! 😀

[@mohann2289]

I searched it because i came to know it has aliens and it reminded me to search about it

[@parazels83]

We need a radical leap of speed of the spacecrafts to explore the Solar system.

[@michaelg8193]

We need radical ballistic travel perpendicular to the planetary disc to surpass the meteorite belt towards Mars easier.

[@williampierce3542]

Reminds me of the Expanse TV show , said to be one of the most realistic and scientifically accurate shows According to some physicists the way they were able to do that in the future was developing a new type of Drive that allows us to burn constantly towards our destination flip around at the halfway mark and burn constantly to decelerate and enter orbit around whatever object you're headed towards.

[@deeppurple883]

Magic. I wish I could go visit everything that's in every galaxy right from the beginning. ✌️☘️

[@brianfileman]

With the surface ice on Ganymede thought to be several tens of kilometres thick and, at the assumed surface temperature, almost as hard as steel, getting any sort of submarine down to the ocean below might prove problematic. Given that the relatively smooth ice surface on Europa is newer than Ganymede’s, a similar mission might have more success.

[@kevinburt44]

Fantastic video, so interesting. I have just turned 60 and am gutted that by time we as a race really explore these places, I will be long dead.

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

Its possible that there could be life on ganymede just like enceladus ! Tidal heating and plate tectonics can provide some amount of heat also !

[@danlhendl]

I wouldn’t go swimming in that water. Can you imagine how eerie that would be?

[@parazels83]

You have to drill dozens of kilometers of ice before swimming in the ocean!

[@marie-louisesoderstrrom388]

Bring memories of a SF novel "Gentle Giants of Ganymede" a treat. So it's xtra interesting for me this Moon hope there could be some form of life 🤔

[@davidcadman4468]

I had the same thought... It would be a beautiful going full circle... Thanks for sharing the thought :)

Fascinating place.

[@WSCLATER]

Its not real. It's only "fascinating" in the imaginations of science fiction devotees. Let's not intertwine reality and fantasy.

[@AmatureAstronomer]

@@WSCLATER posted, "Its not real." Oh? What is real?

[@WSCLATER]

You start by making and confirming real observation. Without that, you don't have anything.

[@AmatureAstronomer]

@@WSCLATER posted, "You start by making and confirming real observation." Works for visual or photographic astronomy. Most of astrophysics, however, are mathematics. How else could bad mathematicians come up with the notion of "dark matter", a substance which cannot be detected by any means.

Thank you.

more exploring is needed in our own oceans deep down we still don't know

[@MagnetOnlyMotors]

The craters look shallow, just like on our moon ! Maybe it’s a hollow hardened sphere .? 🌝

[@edwinbowen781]

This moon n Callisto are so cool !we should colonize earth moon Mars and these two by 2048!

[@edwinbowen781]

Callisto n gamymede should have rovers on it we should take pictures of the surface of the spires on callisto in Valhalla crater!

[@carlstreet7095]

I always had the thought that Jupiter was an undeveloped ‘sun’, which would make its moons, planets.

That is just great, probably in five hundred years. Someone goes there to get a drink off water.

[@maxmoore9955]

This intrigued me .Why the Fuck haven't we Sent more probes to Ganymead .at Jupiter. Or Titon at Saturn.?

[@travellingshoes5241]

It's not that they haven't tried. Not many people know about this but back in the early 90's a manned team was sent out to Jupiter's icy moon Europa, on a ship called the Aurora to undertake in a small scale survey project. Its tasks were to drop insulated weather stations and camera probes onto the moons surface and complete several small scale experiments before turning round and heading for home. From what I can gather, a few years into the mission all contact was lost. No data was ever sent sent back regarding their fate and the crew were never heard from again. No one can be sure wether they made it to their destination or not. Maybe it was a downed transmitter? Maybe it was something else? It's only recently that some of the files concerning this strange mission have begun to see the light of day. I'm hoping the JUICE flyby will shed some light on the Aurora and its missing crew once and for all.

[@user-do5hd7zb4x]

What a cool sounding name! GANNYMEDE! A SAILING SHIP MIGHT WELL USE THIS NAME ON HER TRANSOME.

[@susancaleca4796]

Hi, could Rouge Planets have msgnetic fields? Maybe this planet was a rogue planet that Jupiter caught

[@bundymccain2642]

Is Ganymede tidally locked to Jupiter?

[@maxstrelets263]

Yes, it is. Like most known moons.

[@craigcorson3036]

1:52 "Ganymede is the titan among the satellites" No, Titan is the Titan among the satellites. Ganymede is the giant, the colossus, the behemoth, the biggest. A hundred other words you could have used, but you chose the name of an entirely different satellite that orbits a completely different planet.

[@weasel2173]

Yeah, plus for a long time, Titan was thought to be bigger, then they found out its thick atmosphere made it look bigger.

[@donaldhipple4921]

Is Ganymede not gavationaly locked so as not to rotate independently of its orbit? If were locked I would not expect to be flexed by its orbit as the same face would be presented as is our moon.

[@stepaushi]

0:46 Other channels such as Astrum mention that other Jovian moons are known to have magnetic fields.

[@awol354]

Too ornamental and flowery presentation from my pov. "Get to the point, already!"

life on Ganymede is not "somewhat speculative" - it is very, very, very, very, very speculative - almost every biologist concurs life here formed at the surface with the aid of sunlight - then migrated deeper into the ocean ...

[@mrhassell]

Ganymede, Europa, IO and Callisto are not moons. They are planets, captured by Jupiter's immense gravity. Someone, somehow, needs to prove the fact. Until then, they're moons.

[@alexciocca4451]

Big deal we never go there and how much $$$ did it cost to see this ?

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Ganymede is pronounced "gan uh meed", not "gan ee meed".

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

No.

[@IapetusStag]

@0:20 - You said that Ganymede is the largest SATELLITE in the Solar System. Technically no. "Satellite" is any object that is orbiting another object. The Earth and the 7 major planets and the Dwarf planets, asteroids and comets etc. are also satellites of the Sun.

[@socket3074]

He's obviously referring to satellites orbiting planets. This type of pedantry just makes you look like a fool for not realizing the context.

[@IapetusStag]

@@socket3074 No, this channel is a science channel and everything should be accurate to as much as what we know. Other people have also called out things in this channel's other videos so I am not really alone on this. Also, don't call me a fool or say I look like a fool. I am an engineer and literate on these things.

[@socket3074]

@@IapetusStag arguing semantics makes you look like a fool. There's wasn't additional context required. Not to mention Ganymede is bigger than Pluto, the largest dwarf planet in our solar system. And any asteroid or comet. Edit: I like how you conveniently leave out that misinformation you were so confident on being correct about. Some engineer...
