Callisto (

third-largest moon after Ganymede and Saturn's largest moon Titan, and as large as the smallest planet Mercury, though only about a third as massive. Callisto is, with a diameter of 4,821 km, roughly a third larger than Earth's Moon and orbits Jupiter on average at a distance of 1,883,000 km, which is about six times further out than the Moon orbiting Earth. It is the outermost of the four large Galilean moons of Jupiter,[3] which were discovered in 1610 with one of the first telescopes, being visible from Earth with common binoculars
.

The surface of Callisto is the oldest and most heavily

sublimation-driven degradation of small landforms, which is supported by the general deficit of small impact craters and the presence of numerous small knobs, considered to be their remnants.[13]
The absolute ages of the landforms are not known. Callisto is composed of approximately equal amounts of
subsurface ocean of liquid water[14] at depths greater than 100 km.[15][16]

It is not in an

molecular oxygen,[9] as well as by a rather intense ionosphere.[20] Callisto is thought to have formed by slow accretion from the disk of the gas and dust that surrounded Jupiter after its formation.[21] Callisto's gradual accretion and the lack of tidal heating meant that not enough heat was available for rapid differentiation. The slow convection in the interior of Callisto, which commenced soon after formation, led to partial differentiation and possibly to the formation of a subsurface ocean at a depth of 100–150 km and a small, rocky core.[22]

The likely presence of an ocean within Callisto leaves open the possibility that it could harbor life. However, conditions are thought to be less favorable than on nearby Europa.[23] Various space probes from Pioneers 10 and 11 to Galileo and Cassini have studied Callisto. Because of its low radiation levels, Callisto has long been considered the most suitable to base possible future crewed missions on to study the Jovian system.[24]

History

Discovery

Callisto was discovered independently by Simon Marius and Galileo Galilei in 1610, along with the three other large Jovian moons—Ganymede, Io and Europa.[1]

Name

Callisto, like all of Jupiter's moons, is named after one of Zeus's many lovers or other sexual partners in Greek mythology. Callisto was a nymph (or, according to some sources, the daughter of Lycaon) who was associated with the goddess of the hunt, Artemis.[25] The name was suggested by Simon Marius soon after Callisto's discovery.[26] Marius attributed the suggestion to Johannes Kepler.[25]

Jupiter is much blamed by the poets on account of his irregular loves. Three maidens are especially mentioned as having been clandestinely courted by Jupiter with success. Io, daughter of the River Inachus, Callisto of Lycaon, Europa of Agenor. Then there was Ganymede, the handsome son of King Tros, whom Jupiter, having taken the form of an eagle, transported to heaven on his back, as poets fabulously tell... I think, therefore, that I shall not have done amiss if the First is called by me Io, the Second Europa, the Third, on account of its majesty of light, Ganymede, the Fourth Callisto...[27][28]

However, the names of the Galilean satellites fell into disfavor for a considerable time, and were not revived in common use until the mid-20th century. In much of the earlier astronomical literature, Callisto is referred to by its Roman numeral designation, a system introduced by Galileo, as Jupiter IV or as "the fourth satellite of Jupiter".[29]

There's no established English adjectival form of the name. The adjectival form of Greek Καλλιστῴ Kallistōi is Καλλιστῴος Kallistōi-os, from which one might expect Latin Callistōius and English *Callistóian (with 5 syllables), parallel to Sapphóian (4 syllables) for

Īnōi[33] and Argóan[34] from Argōi[35]), and indeed the analogous form Callistoan is found.[36][37][38]
In Virgil, a second
oblique stem appears in Latin: Callistōn-,[39] but the corresponding Callistonian has rarely appeared in English.[40] One also sees ad hoc forms, such as Callistan,[13] Callistian[41] and Callistean.[42][43]

Orbit and rotation

Callisto is the outermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. It orbits at a distance of approximately 1,880,000 km (26.3 times the 71,492 km radius of Jupiter itself).[3] This is significantly larger than the orbital radius—1,070,000 km—of the next-closest Galilean satellite, Ganymede. As a result of this relatively distant orbit, Callisto does not participate in mean-motion resonance—in which the three inner Galilean satellites are locked—and probably never has.[17] Callisto is expected to be captured into the resonance in about 1.5 billion years, completing the 1:2:4:8 chain.[44]

Like most other regular planetary moons, Callisto's rotation is locked to be

inclination changing quasi-periodically due to solar and planetary gravitational perturbations on a timescale of centuries. The ranges of change are 0.0072–0.0076 and 0.20–0.60°, respectively.[17] These orbital variations cause the axial tilt (the angle between the rotational and orbital axes) to vary between 0.4 and 1.6°.[45]

The dynamical isolation of Callisto means that it has never been appreciably

and less rocky material within Asgard.

The average density of Callisto, 1.83 g/cm3,[4] suggests a composition of approximately equal parts of rocky material and water ice, with some additional volatile ices such as ammonia.[15] The mass fraction of ices is 49–55%.[15][22] The exact composition of Callisto's rock component is not known, but is probably close to the composition of L/LL type ordinary chondrites,[15] which are characterized by less total iron, less metallic iron and more iron oxide than H chondrites. The weight ratio of iron to silicon is 0.9–1.3 in Callisto, whereas the solar ratio is around 1:8.[15]

Callisto's surface has an

organic compounds.[16][6] Spectral data indicate that Callisto's surface is extremely heterogeneous at the small scale. Small, bright patches of pure water ice are intermixed with patches of a rock–ice mixture and extended dark areas made of a non-ice material.[6][12]

The Callistoan surface is asymmetric: the leading hemisphere

Galilean satellites, where the reverse is true.[6] The trailing hemisphere[g] of Callisto appears to be enriched in carbon dioxide, whereas the leading hemisphere has more sulfur dioxide.[52] Many fresh impact craters like Lofn also show enrichment in carbon dioxide.[52] Overall, the chemical composition of the surface, especially in the dark areas, may be close to that seen on D-type asteroids,[12] whose surfaces are made of carbonaceous
material.

Internal structure

Model of Callisto's internal structure showing a surface ice layer, a possible liquid water layer, and an ice–rock interior

Callisto's battered surface lies on top of a cold, stiff and icy

conducting sphere; that is, the field cannot penetrate inside Callisto, suggesting a layer of highly conductive fluid within it with a thickness of at least 10 km.[54] The existence of an ocean is more likely if water contains a small amount of ammonia or other antifreeze, up to 5% by weight.[22] In this case the water+ice layer can be as thick as 250–300 km.[15]
Failing an ocean, the icy lithosphere may be somewhat thicker, up to about 300 km.

Beneath the lithosphere and putative ocean, Callisto's interior appears to be neither entirely uniform nor particularly variable. Galileo orbiter data[4] (especially the dimensionless moment of inertia[h]—0.3549 ± 0.0042—determined during close flybys) suggest that, if Callisto is in hydrostatic equilibrium, its interior is composed of compressed rocks and ices, with the amount of rock increasing with depth due to partial settling of its constituents.[15][55] In other words, Callisto may be only partially differentiated. The density and moment of inertia for an equilibrium Callisto are compatible with the existence of a small silicate core in the center of Callisto. The radius of any such core cannot exceed 600 km, and the density may lie between 3.1 and 3.6 g/cm3.[4][15] In this case, Callisto's interior would be in stark contrast to that of Ganymede, which appears to be fully differentiated.[16][56]

However, a 2011 reanalysis of Galileo data suggests that Callisto is not in hydrostatic equilibrium.[57] In that case, the gravity data may be more consistent with a more thoroughly differentiated Callisto with a hydrated silicate core.[58]

Surface features

deposits—are the only large features to be found on the surface.[12][60]

Callisto's surface can be divided into several geologically different parts: cratered plains, light plains, bright and dark smooth plains, and various units associated with particular multi-ring structures and impact craters.[12][60] The cratered plains make up most of the surface area and represent the ancient lithosphere, a mixture of ice and rocky material. The light plains include bright impact craters like Burr and Lofn, as well as the effaced remnants of old large craters called palimpsests,[i] the central parts of multi-ring structures, and isolated patches in the cratered plains.[12] These light plains are thought to be icy impact deposits. The bright, smooth plains make up a small fraction of Callisto's surface and are found in the ridge and trough zones of the Valhalla and Asgard formations and as isolated spots in the cratered plains. They were thought to be connected with endogenic activity, but the high-resolution Galileo images showed that the bright, smooth plains correlate with heavily fractured and knobby terrain and do not show any signs of resurfacing.[12] The Galileo images also revealed small, dark, smooth areas with overall coverage less than 10,000 km2, which appear to embay[j] the surrounding terrain. They are possible cryovolcanic deposits.[12] Both the light and the various smooth plains are somewhat younger and less cratered than the background cratered plains.[12][61]

Impact crater diameters seen range from 0.1 km—a limit defined by the imaging resolution—to over 100 km, not counting the multi-ring structures.[12] Small craters, with diameters less than 5 km, have simple bowl or flat-floored shapes. Those 5–40 km across usually have a central peak. Larger impact features, with diameters in the range 25–100 km, have central pits instead of peaks, such as Tindr crater.[12] The largest craters with diameters over 60 km can have central domes, which are thought to result from central tectonic uplift after an impact;[12] examples include Doh and Hár craters. A small number of very large—more than 100 km in diameter—and bright impact craters show anomalous dome geometry. These are unusually shallow and may be a transitional landform to the multi-ring structures, as with the Lofn impact feature.[12] Callisto's craters are generally shallower than those on the Moon.

The largest impact features on Callisto's surface are multi-ring basins.

concentric fracturing of the lithosphere lying on a layer of soft or liquid material, possibly an ocean.[36] The catenae—for example Gomul Catena—are long chains of impact craters lined up in straight lines across the surface. They were probably created by objects that were tidally disrupted as they passed close to Jupiter prior to the impact on Callisto, or by very oblique impacts.[12] A historical example of a disruption was Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9
.

As mentioned above, small patches of pure water ice with an

deposits. Dark material usually lies in the lowlands surrounding and mantling bright features and appears to be smooth. It often forms patches up to 5 km across within the crater floors and in the intercrater depressions.[6]

Two landslides 3–3.5 km long are visible on the right sides of the floors of the two large craters on the right.

On a sub-kilometer scale the surface of Callisto is more degraded than the surfaces of other icy

sublimation of ice, which is enabled by a temperature of up to 165 K, reached at a subsolar point.[6] Such sublimation of water or other volatiles from the dirty ice that is the bedrock causes its decomposition. The non-ice remnants form debris avalanches descending from the slopes of the crater walls.[13] Such avalanches are often observed near and inside impact craters and termed "debris aprons".[6][12][13] Sometimes crater walls are cut by sinuous valley-like incisions called "gullies", which resemble certain Martian surface features.[6]
In the ice sublimation hypothesis, the low-lying dark material is interpreted as a blanket of primarily non-ice debris, which originated from the degraded rims of craters and has covered a predominantly icy bedrock.

The relative ages of the different surface units on Callisto can be determined from the density of impact craters on them. The older the surface, the denser the crater population.

billion years old, dating back almost to the formation of the Solar System. The ages of multi-ring structures and impact craters depend on chosen background cratering rates and are estimated by different authors to vary between 1 and 4 billion years.[12][59]

Atmosphere and ionosphere

Induced magnetic field around Callisto

Callisto has a very tenuous atmosphere composed of

μPa) and particle density 4 × 108 cm−3. Because such a thin atmosphere would be lost in only about four years (see atmospheric escape), it must be constantly replenished, possibly by slow sublimation of carbon dioxide ice from Callisto's icy crust,[8]
which would be compatible with the sublimation–degradation hypothesis for the formation of the surface knobs.

Callisto's ionosphere was first detected during Galileo flybys;

molecular oxygen (in amounts 10–100 times greater than CO
2).[9] However, oxygen has not yet been directly detected in the atmosphere of Callisto. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) placed an upper limit on its possible concentration in the atmosphere, based on lack of detection, which is still compatible with the ionospheric measurements.[64] At the same time, HST was able to detect condensed oxygen trapped on the surface of Callisto.[65]

Atomic hydrogen has also been detected in Callisto's atmosphere via recent analysis of 2001 Hubble Space Telescope data.[66] Spectral images taken on 15 and 24 December 2001 were re-examined, revealing a faint signal of scattered light that indicates a hydrogen corona. The observed brightness from the scattered sunlight in Callisto's hydrogen corona is approximately two times larger when the leading hemisphere is observed. This asymmetry may originate from a different hydrogen abundance in both the leading and trailing hemispheres. However, this hemispheric difference in Callisto's hydrogen corona brightness is likely to originate from the extinction of the signal in Earth's geocorona, which is greater when the trailing hemisphere is observed.[67]

Callisto's atmosphere have been modelled to gain better understanding of impact of collisional molecular interactions.[68] Researchers used a kinetic method to model collisions between the constituent elements of Callisto's atmosphere (carbon dioxide, molecular oxygen and molecular hydrogen). The modeling took into account the thermal desorption of these compounds due to solar exposure and the resulting variations in temperature on the surface. The simulation showed that the density of Callisto's atmosphere could be explained by the trapping of hydrogen by the heavier gases, carbon dioxide and oxygen. The model shows how kinetic interactions between molecules affect the atmosphere, although it has limitations in terms of variables considered. The simulated densities correlate with expected thresholds for experimental detection.[69][70]

Origin and evolution

The partial

subnebula—a disk of the gas and dust that existed around Jupiter after its formation.[21] Such a prolonged accretion stage would allow cooling to largely keep up with the heat accumulation caused by impacts, radioactive decay and contraction, thereby preventing melting and fast differentiation.[21] The allowable timescale for the formation of Callisto lies then in the range 0.1 million–10 million years.[21]

The further evolution of Callisto after

core and icy mantle. Due to the convection process, however, very slow and partial separation and differentiation of rocks and ices inside Callisto has been proceeding on timescales of billions of years and may be continuing to this day.[72]

The current understanding of the evolution of Callisto allows for the existence of a layer or "ocean" of liquid water in its interior. This is connected with the anomalous behavior of ice I phase's melting temperature, which decreases with

MPa).[22] In all realistic models of Callisto the temperature in the layer between 100 and 200 km in depth is very close to, or exceeds slightly, this anomalous melting temperature.[46][71][72] The presence of even small amounts of ammonia—about 1–2% by weight—almost guarantees the liquid's existence because ammonia would lower the melting temperature even further.[22]

Although Callisto is very similar in bulk properties to

exogenic forces.[12] Unlike neighboring Ganymede with its grooved terrain, there is little evidence of tectonic activity.[16] Explanations that have been proposed for the contrasts in internal heating and consequent differentiation and geologic activity between Callisto and Ganymede include differences in formation conditions,[73] the greater tidal heating experienced by Ganymede,[74] and the more numerous and energetic impacts that would have been suffered by Ganymede during the Late Heavy Bombardment.[75][76][77] The relatively simple geological history of Callisto provides planetary scientists with a reference point for comparison with other more active and complex worlds.[16]

Habitability

It is speculated that there could be life in Callisto's subsurface ocean. Like Europa and Ganymede, as well as Saturn's moons Enceladus, Dione and Titan and Neptune's moon Triton,[78] a possible subsurface ocean might be composed of salt water.

It is possible that halophiles could thrive in the ocean.[79] As with

ocean under the Callistoan surface.[23] However, the environmental conditions necessary for life appear to be less favorable on Callisto than on Europa. The principal reasons are the lack of contact with rocky material and the lower heat flux from the interior of Callisto.[23] Callisto's ocean is heated only by radioactive decay, while Europa's is also heated by tidal energy, as it is much closer to Jupiter.[79] It is thought that of all of Jupiter's moons, Europa has the greatest chance of supporting microbial life.[23][80]

Exploration

Past

The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 Jupiter encounters in the early 1970s contributed little new information about Callisto in comparison with what was already known from Earth-based observations.[6] The real breakthrough happened later with the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 flybys in 1979. They imaged more than half of the Callistoan surface with a resolution of 1–2 km, and precisely measured its temperature, mass and shape.[6] A second round of exploration lasted from 1994 to 2003, when the Galileo spacecraft had eight close encounters with Callisto, the last flyby during the C30 orbit in 2001 came as close as 138 km to the surface. The Galileo orbiter completed the global imaging of the surface and delivered a number of pictures with a resolution as high as 15 meters of selected areas of Callisto.[12] In 2000, the Cassini spacecraft en route to Saturn acquired high-quality infrared spectra of the Galilean satellites including Callisto.[50] In February–March 2007, the New Horizons probe on its way to Pluto obtained new images and spectra of Callisto.[81]

Future exploration

Callisto will be visited by three spacecraft in the near future.

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), which launched on April 14, 2023, will perform 21 close flybys of Callisto between 2031 and 2034.[82][83]

NASA's Europa Clipper, which is scheduled to launch in October 2024, will conduct nine close flybys of Callisto beginning in 2030.[84]

China's

CNSA Tianwen-4 is planned to launch to Jupiter around 2030 before entering orbit around Callisto.[85][86][87]

Old proposals

Formerly proposed for a launch in 2020, the

ESA proposal for exploration of Jupiter's moons. In February 2009 it was announced that ESA/NASA had given this mission priority ahead of the Titan Saturn System Mission.[88] At the time ESA's contribution still faced funding competition from other ESA projects.[89] EJSM consisted of the NASA-led Jupiter Europa Orbiter, the ESA-led Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter and possibly a JAXA-led Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter

Potential crewed exploration and habitation

outer Solar System. The target chosen to consider in detail was Callisto.[24][91]

The study proposed a possible surface base on Callisto that would produce rocket propellant for further exploration of the Solar System.[90] Advantages of a base on Callisto include low radiation (due to its distance from Jupiter) and geological stability. Such a base could facilitate remote exploration of Europa, or be an ideal location for a Jovian system waystation servicing spacecraft heading farther into the outer Solar System, using a gravity assist from a close flyby of Jupiter after departing Callisto.[24]

In December 2003, NASA reported that a crewed mission to Callisto might be possible in the 2040s.[92]
