A massive collision billions of years ago may have dramatically reoriented Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon. Naoyuki Hirata at Kobe University, Japan, and his colleagues studied Ganymede’s extensive ...
New simulations show that Jupiter's massive moon Ganymede was knocked off its axis when it was struck by a roughly 90-mile-wide asteroid around 4 billion years ago. The colossal collision was likely ...
A Kobe University researcher has confirmed that an asteroid which struck Jupiter’s moon Ganymede was about 20 times larger than the one that ended the age of the dinosaurs on Earth. According to the ...
The largest moon in our solar system may have been knocked off its axis and cracked like an egg four billion years ago by an asteroid bigger than the one that wiped out the dinosaurs on Earth at the ...
Kobe University HIRATA Naoyuki was the first to realize that the location of an asteroid impact on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede is almost precisely on the meridian farthest away from Jupiter. This implied ...

The largest moon in the solar system is Ganymede, which orbits the largest planet, Jupiter. New research suggests that an asteroid struck Ganymede four billion years ago, and the collision made the ...
The solar system's largest moon, Ganymede, which orbits the largest planet, Jupiter, was hit by an asteroid four billion years ago that shifted the gas giant's satellite on its axis, new research ...
This enhanced image of the Jovian moon Ganymede was obtained by the JunoCam imager aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during the mission's June 7, 2021, flyby of the icy moon on Juno's 34th pass close to ...
The ocean on Ganymede may have more water than all the water on Earth. In this artist’s concept, the moon Ganymede orbits the giant planet Jupiter. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observed aurorae on ...
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede could be a vast dark matter detector, and upcoming space missions might be able to spot distinctive dark matter craters on its ancient surface. Physicists searching for dark ...
