Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, is believed to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago from the same protoplanetary disk that surrounded Jupiter. It likely coalesced from icy and rocky materials, accumulating mass through accretion processes. Unlike some of Jupiter's other moons, Callisto did not undergo significant geological activity, which allowed it to maintain its heavily cratered surface, indicating a history of impact events rather than internal restructuring. Its formation is thought to have been influenced by the gravitational dynamics of Jupiter and its moons during the early solar system.
