	Ganymede
		Ganymede was a Trojan boy of great beauty whom Zeus carried away to be cup bearer to the gods.
		Before the Galileo encounters with Ganymede it was thought that Ganymede and Callisto were composed of a rocky core surrounded by a large mantle of water or water ice with an ice surface (and that Titan and Triton were similar).
		Ganymede's surface is a roughly equal mix of two types of terrain: very old, highly cratered dark regions (left), and somewhat younger (but still ancient) lighter regions marked with an extensive array of grooves and ridges (right).

	Ganymede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ganymede was the most beautiful of mortals, and was carried off by the gods (in the later story by Zeus himself, or by Zeus in the form of an eagle) to Olympus as Zeus' beloved and to serve as cupbearer to the gods.
		Ganymede was there, passing the time of exile many heroes undergo in their youth, by tending a flock of sheep or, alternatively, during the chthonic or rustic aspect of his education, while gathering among his friends and tutors.
		Ganymede is usually depicted as a well-developed, muscular youth, albeit one engaged in incongruously infantile activities (such as rolling a hoop).

	Ganymede (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ganymede is composed of silicate rock and water ice, with an ice crust floating over a warmer ice mantle that may contain a layer of liquid water.
		The largest feature on Ganymede is a dark plain named Galileo Regio, as well as a series of concentric grooves, or furrows, that are remnants of an ancient impact crater long since obscured by subsequent geological activity.
		Ganymede's intrinsic magnetic field is probably generated in a similar fashion to the Earth's: as a result of conducting material moving in the interior, likely originating in its metallic core.

		Ganymede has proven to be a fascinating world, the only moon known to have a magnetosphere, or magnetic environment, produced by a convecting metal core.
		Ganymede's magnetic field, which was detected by the magnetometer on NASA's Galileo spacecraft in 1996, may be partly responsible for the appearance of the polar terrain.
		Ganymede's surface is a roughly equal mix of two types of terrain: very old, highly cratered dark regions (Above), and somewhat younger (but still ancient) lighter regions marked with an extensive array of grooves and ridges (Below).

	Jupiter's Moon Ganymede
		Ganymede's mantle is most likely composed of ice and silicates, and its crust is probably a thick layer of water ice.
		Ganymede's surface is rich in water ice and Voyager and Galileo images show features which are evidence of geological and tectonic disruption of the surface in the past.
		Based on geochemical and geophysical models, scientists expected Ganymede's interior to either consist of: a) an undifferentiated mixture of rock and ice or b) a differentiated structure with a large lunar sized 'core' of rock and possibly iron overlain by a deep layer of warm soft ice capped by a thin cold rigid ice crust.

	Ganymede
		Ganymede appears to have a differentiated internal structure, with a small molten iron or iron-sulfur core surrounded by a rocky silicate mantle with an icy shell on top.
		Ganymede has its own magnetosphere, embedded within Jupiter's huge one, that is probably generated in a similar way to Earth's, as a result of motion of conducting material in the interior.
		Gilgamesh is the largest preserved impact basin on Ganymede, with a rim 580 km in diameter surrounding a roughly 300 km-wide smooth central depression.

	Ganymede
		Since Ganymede has a low density of 1.94 grams/cubic centimeter (water's density = 1.00), it was originally estimated that the satellite is half water ice with a rocky core extending to half of the satellite's radius.
		Forty percent of the surface of Ganymede is covered by highly cratered dark regions, and the remaining sixty percent is covered by a light grooved terrain which forms intricate patterns across Ganymede.
		The dark regions on Ganymede are old and rough, and the dark, cratered terrain is believed to be the original crust of the satellite.

		Speckled with bright young craters, Ganymede's surface shows a mixture of old, dark, cratered terrain and lighter regions laced with grooves and ridges.

	SPACE.com -- Ocean Lurks Deep in Ganymede, Galileo Finds
		In the case of Ganymede, however, the moon sports a strong, permanent field of its own.
		However, Kivelson said the Galileo magnetometer team ultimately was able to discern a slight rocking of Ganymedes poles as Jupiters own field shifted, a result that was consistent with the presence of a global subsurface ocean capable of conducting electricity.
		Furthermore, recent study of the salt minerals that splotch Ganymedes mottled surface suggests that sometime in the remote past briny water may have breached the ice that now caps the moon, said Thomas McCord, a University of Hawaii planetary scientist.

		Ganymede was Trojan not Greek, a fact of his origin that identifies him as part of the earliest, pre-Hellenic level of Aegean myth.
		Homer doesn't dwell on the erotic aspect of Ganymede's abduction, but it is certainly in an erotic context that the goddess refers to Ganymede's blond Trojan beauty in the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, mentioning Zeus' love for Trojan Ganymede as part of her enticement of Trojan Anchises.

		In time, illustrious sons were born to him: Ilus, builder of the famed city at the feet of Mount Ida, and godlike Ganymede, the most handsome born of the race of men.
		Ganymede played carefree with his friends, wrestling in the sun and running in the wind, or chasing deer through the glades of Mount Ida, for he was a hunter without peer.
		They were the finest that live and prance under the dawn and the sun, the same that carry the immortals.
