Scientific paper

Reflectance spectra from Galileo's near-infrared mapping spectrometer
(NIMS) suggests that the surface of Ganymede, the largest satellite of
Jupiter, contains hydrated materials. These materials are interpreted to
be similar to those found on Europa, that is, mostly frozen magnesium
sulfate brines that are derived from a subsurface briny layer of fluid.
