The asteroid strike would have "completely removed the original surface" of Ganymede, thanks to the crater reaching a whopping 25 percent of the moon's size, the researcher said in a recent statement.

While orbiting Jupiter, it will cross paths with Europa 49 times. The mission ends in 2034 with a planned crash into Ganymede — Jupiter’s biggest moon and the solar system’s too. There’s more ...
A new study suggests that the planet’s icy interior and liquid ocean could be insulated with a three-to-six-mile-thick layer of methane clathrate, which is solid water ice with methane gas trapped in ...
The mission ends in 2034 with a planned crash into Ganymede — Jupiter’s biggest moon and the solar system's too. There’s more radiation around Jupiter than anywhere else in our solar system ...
based on fresh-looking craters of similar size on a similar-sized icy moon, Ganymede. "Using this modeling approach, we were able to constrain the methane clathrate crust thickness to 5 to 10 ...
