Callisto: Callisto is the third-largest moon in the solar system and the second-largest of Jupiter's moons. It is a heavily cratered, icy world with no active volcanoes or tectonic activity. Scientists believe it has a subsurface ocean and may be a good place to search for life.

Io: Io is the fourth-largest moon of Jupiter and the most volcanically active object in the solar system. It has over 400 active volcanoes and is covered in sulfur and silicate compounds. Its proximity to Jupiter causes tidal heating, which helps to drive its volcanic activity.

Ganymede: Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and the only moon known to have its own magnetic field. It is composed of rock and ice and has a surface that is heavily cratered in some areas and grooved in others. It also has a thin oxygen atmosphere and a subsurface ocean, making it a potential location for extraterrestrial life.
