38. IO

39. IO jupiter's moon io is the most volcanically active world in the solar system , with hundreds of volcanoes, some erupting lava fountains dozens of miles (or kilometers) high.

40. EUROPA

41. EUROPA Europa is the fourth largest of Jupiter’s 95 moons. It's the sixth-closest moon to the planet. Europa may be one of the most promising places in our solar system to find present-day environments suitable for some form of life beyond Earth. Scientists believe a saltwater ocean lies beneath its icy shell, holding twice as much water as Earth's global ocean. It also may have the chemical elements that are key ingredients to life. NASA is launching its  Europa Clipper  spacecraft on Oct. 10, 2024, to determine whether there are places below Europa's surface that could support life.

42. GANYMEDE

43. GANYMEDE Ganymede is Jupiter's largest moon and is also the largest moon in the entire solar system . It is bigger than both Mercury and dwarf planet Pluto and only slightly smaller than Mars . The moon likely has a salty ocean underneath its icy surface, making it a potential location for life.

44. GANYMEDE Ganymede is the only moon known to have its  own magnetic field  – a discovery made by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft in 1996. The magnetic field causes auroras, which are ribbons of glowing, hot, electrified gas, in regions circling the north and south poles of the moon. Because Ganymede is close to Jupiter, its magnetic field is embedded in, or lies within, Jupiter’s magnetic field.

45. CALLISTO

46. CALLISTO Callisto is Jupiter’s second largest moon and the third largest moon in our solar system. Its surface is the most heavily cratered of any object in our solar system. Images of Callisto captured by passing spacecraft show bright white spots standing out against darker regions.

47. CALLISTO Once thought to be a dead, inactive rocky body, data gathered by the Galileo spacecraft in the 1990s indicate Callisto may have a salty ocean beneath its icy surface. More recent research reveals that this ocean may be located deeper beneath the surface than previously thought, or may not exist at all. If an ocean is present, it’s possible the ocean is interacting with rock on Callisto, creating a potential habitat for life.
