Name this moon. 🤔 Answer below. ⬇️ Here’s a hint… it orbits Jupiter! Got it? It’s Callisto! Callisto is a magnet for impacts—Jupiter’s moon has more craters than any other body in the Solar System. In fact, it’s so crater-covered that any new impact would almost certainly hit an existing one. Learn more about what Callisto has in common with Venus in our free newsletter, The Downlink: https://lnkd.in/gVsfUJvF 📸: 2001 image from NASA's Galileo spacecraft.
