Ganymede is significant in many ways. First of all, it is the largest satellite (in diameter) in our solar system. It also is one of the few satellites to have it's own magnetic field, which interacts curiously with Jupiter's own. Among other things, the surface features and sub-glacial oceans provide fascinating potential for future research.
