Summary

The hemisphere of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganymede_(moon)" class="extiw" title="w:Ganymede (moon)">Ganymede</a> that faces away from Jupiter displays a great variety of terrain. In this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_2" class="extiw" title="w:Voyager 2">Voyager 2</a> mosaic, photographed at a range of 300,000 kilometers, the ancient dark area of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Regio" class="extiw" title="w:Galileo Regio">Regio Galileo</a> lies at the upper right. Below it, the ray system is probably caused by water-ice, splashed out in a relatively recent impact.
