k Jupiters moon Ganymede, SPHERE image Infrared SPHERE image of Jupiters icy moon Ganymede. The different coloured regions provide clues to the composition and history of the moon. The bright regions consist mainly of water in the form of ice with hints of various salts. These regions are believed to have formed more recently than the darker patches, whose composition is still unknown. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System, even bigger than the planet Mercury.
