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 ...

Ganymede is the seventh moon and third Galilean satellite outward from Jupiter, orbiting at about 665,000 miles (1,070 million kilometers). It takes Ganymede about seven Earth days to orbit ...

ESA's Mars Express orbiter captured footage of the Mars' moon Deimos pass in front of Ganymede, Europa, Jupiter, Io and ...

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft snapped this color image of Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest satellite in the solar system, on July 7, 1979 from a distance of 745,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers).

Flybys of Jupiter and its moon Ganymede conducted by the NASA Juno mission have revealed new Van Gogh-like images of the gas giant, as well as the sounds made by one of its moons.

Ganymede and Jupiter are in a complicated relationship, and some of that relationship extends to Ganymede's surface chemistry, where Jupiter's plasma strikes the moon's poles and irradiates the ice.

Astronomers find 12 new moons orbiting Jupiter 00:33. NASA has detected water vapor for the very first time in the atmosphere of Ganymede — not only Jupiter's largest moon, but the largest moon ...

The European Space Agency’s $1.7 billion Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft blasted-off in April ultimately to go into orbit around Ganymede for nine months from late 2034.

While Ganymede hasn’t yet been observed spewing plumes of water vapor like Saturn’s moon Enceladus, Jupiter’s largest moon is most likely hiding an enormous saltwater ocean.
