    I saw Callisto yesterday through my telescope. Wasn't anything more than a point of light beside the gas giant along with other moons. But still fascinating to think about it, the light reflected from the surface of another world travelled millions of kilometres only to enter my telescope and go inside my eye. Surreal.

    *Fun **-Fact-** Myth:* Callisto was a nymph who was seduced by Zeus, when he took the form of Artemis, whom she was in love with. They had a son, Arcus, who became a great hunter. Artemis kicked her to the curb, and Hera also found out and asked to speak to her manager. Irate, Hera transformed Callisto into a bear. Many years later, Arcus was hunting a bear, not kowing it was his mother. Seeing this all play out from Mount Olympus, Zeus blew Arcas and Callisto far away from each other and they each became constellations. Callisto became Ursa Major (the bear), and her son became Boötes (the herdsman).

And out of which I found Callisto to be the most beautiful and fascinating to me as it had so much spots on its surface. I literally thought Callisto as a gem stone moon as it looked like all the spots are as if shining like gem.❤️

    Callisto was the first Galilean moon that I ever wanted to learn about actually!!! Granted, that was because of a sc-fi novel: Anne McCaffrey's wonderful Talent series!
    In those books, one of the major characters, a powerful psionic called The Rowan, lives on Callisto Station. In the original short story that predated the novels, her Tower was situated on the moon itself; for years and years I loved to sit and imagine being in that place, in a domed settlement - not terribly large, of course...and being able to just look up and see Jupiter looming "overhead" as it were! The station was indeed used as a waypoint in the world of those books, though the methods of transport were downright fantastical, haha!
    This was a great video! I really enjoyed seeing more details about this moon - and you're right, it should not be forgotten. It has too many things to teach us, and too many possibilities that it could open for us!

    Hey Astrum, would you consider doing videos on the outer dwarf planets like Quaoar Makemake and Sedna? I feel like they would be interesting to cover, but nobody knows about them.

    Man... Every time I see a photo of the surface of a celestial body other than Earth, I feel an urge to visit those places. Imagine being the first person to walk on a moon of Jupiter and seeing those mountains, plains, craters in first hand for the first time...

    imagine if instead of playing a computer game, in the future, if we could pay to fly around drones or drive a rover on various planets & moons in the solar system and explore & see perfect video of every place we go in our vehicle?

    Out of all the solar system objects, to me Callisto is the second place to visit with Mars being the first. The advantage it is outside the ferocious radiation belt of Jupiter cannot be underestimated. Moreover energy wise, to visit and land on Callisto will take less propellant than Mars. It is just a manned trip will be in the order of 16 years as opposed to a Martin trip of 2.5 years. 16 years is a long time.

      I wonder about Callisto being "outside" Jupiter's Magnetic Field. Does not Jupiter have a tail like Earth? Would not Callisto sweep thru that magnetic tail, like the Moon does Earth's?

    Always a delight lad, thank you for another VOD. We are decades away from human exploration beyond Mars. So glad the EU is sending out probes as well as NASA. What happens on our own moon is critical with bases, etc. to make us deep space explorers. Please dedicate your expertise to a few VODs about building a base on the moon, mining the moon's mineral/ice assets, and using the moon as a way station for deeper space progression. That base will be a proof of concept for humans to explore or will we concede that ultra-sophisticated robots should go instead?

    I'm glad you mentioned that it's the ideal place for a manned base in the future when humans get the technology to operate throughout the Solar System. I've always been more interested in Callisto for its potential than whether or not microbes exist under the surface of Europa.
