Biography: **Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature**Alice Munro was born in 1931 and is the author of thirteen collections of stories, most recently Dear Life, and a novel, Lives of Girls and Women.The indie-pop group Brazzaville named an album and its title track “The Oceans of Ganymede” after hearing news that Ganymede may have a saltwater ocean. An American electropop duo named their band Ganymede and released a song called “Operation Ganymede” in 2008. Ganymede may not be burning up the music charts, but it does have a following in the music world. “The Gentle Giants of Ganymede” by James P. “The Ice Orphan of Ganymede” by Leonardo Ramirez “Cold As Ice” (Series) by Charles Sheffield Heinlein wrote “Farmer in the Sky” about a teenage boy who followed his father to Ganymede to set up a farm. Clarke was inspired by images from Voyager 2 showing grooved ridges cutting across parts of Ganymede when he created Ganymede City for his novel “3001: The Final Odyssey.” Clarke references Voyager in his sources and writes about his anticipation for more images from the Galileo spacecraft which started exploring Ganymede on June 27, 1996, just days before the book was published. Ganymede is a favorite setting in science fiction books. Ganymede played a big role in the TV series, “The Expanse.” Ganymede also was featured in several other TV shows including: Ganymede can be heard whistling and hissing in audio recordings made from plasma wave science data returned by NASA's Galileo spacecraft. The Juno spacecraft was most recent, taking detailed photographs of Ganymede in June 2021. Several NASA probes have explored Jupiter and its moons, including Ganymede. A shell of rock surrounds the core, and another icy shell surrounds the rock. Deep inside Ganymede, there’s a metallic iron core that generates the moon's magnetic field. Images taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft on June 7, 2021, provided a fresh look at features on Ganymede’s surface including craters, clearly distinct dark, and bright terrain, and long structural features possibly linked to tectonic faults. There is evidence Ganymede has a tenuous oxygen atmosphere. The magnetic field causes auroras, or bright ribbons of glowing gas, that circle the moon’s poles. Ganymede is the only moon known to have its own magnetic field – something typically found on planets like Earth. It might even have ice and oceans stacked up in several layers like a club sandwich. There’s strong evidence that Ganymede has an underground saltwater ocean that may hold more water than all the water on Earth's surface. Jupiter’s icy moon Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system, even bigger than the planet Mercury, and the dwarf planet Pluto.
