Posting to give Ganymede some love!
Isn’t this the greenhouse farm in The Expanse?
Probably a top three moon.
There are moons larger than Mercury
So is Titan, I find this cool, like our solar system would have more planets if they didn’t orbit another planet. One may argue that they are less massive / dense, but I wouldn’t blame them for it, developing beyond frost line comes with different development and composition, one that favors ice and volatiles.
It is also thicker than a snicker.
Sure, but Mercury has 45% more mass.
As opposed to figuratively wider?
So is Titan, and Endor and Yavin 4. 😆
Yo mama mooned me and it had a wider diameter.
If Ganymede wants to be called a planet, it ought to break orbit and go independent like Mercury. It’s not easy going solo.

That’s astronomy, suyzn……..
Earth is a planet and bigger than mercury
Amazing picture. I haven’t ever seen it before. Thanks!
Always feel bad for Mercury. Standing on the frontine for 4 billion years and doesn’t get anywhere near the love of the other ones behind it.
…yes and?
It literally is wider than Luna
And? Wideness is not part of the criteria for what constitutes a moon.
What, are we fat shaming moons now?
The Gentle Giants of Ganymede. One of the besr sci-fi trilogy I read.
Mercury could be the core of a larger planet and the outer layers got blasted off by collisions.
It’s only a little smaller than Mars.
Can you see Buddy Holly in that picture? Hear he is alive and well up there.
What a weird way to say it’s bigger.
Is it *actually* wider too? Or is it just *literally* wider.
