Geographical features of this body include the Conamara Chaos which is thought to have formed from interconnecting domes and pits called lenticulae.
Geographical features of this body include the Conamara Chaos which is thought to have formed from interconnecting domes and pits called lenticulae. The surface of it is relatively crater-free, while darker streaks of iron and silicate mineral deposits are much more common. Recent research has been conducted at Antarctica's Lake Vostok centered on NASA's "cryobot" in hopes of developing better probes to study this solar body. Although it has a surface temperature of a mere 110 Kelvin, its eccentric orbit and gravitational interactions with its companions creates tidal heating in its core; these phenomena along with data obtained from flybys of the Galileo probe suggest potential for a life-bearing ocean beneath the moon's remarkably undisturbed, smooth, icy surface. For ten points, name this fourth largest moon of Jupiter, but smallest of the four Galilean satellites.
