Happy 28th Launch Day, Jupiter II!

[notminako1]

I decided to do some concepts of the Galilean moons in Gacha Life 2 and man am I proud of the results! + some size comparisons.

Europa - II

Io - I

Ganymede - III

Callisto - IV

( Also, these are concepts for if they were characters in Heliosphere: Under The Sky, a webcomic series by Meii_Jasmine!

Make sure to follow the official tumblr page! @heliosphere-underthesky )

Persona chart:

Europa: (They/Them) Also known as Jupiter II, they are very girly, but still are very loyal mages for Jove.

Io: (She/Her) Also known as Jupiter I, even if she's the most messed up from the Galilean moons, she's very kind and caring. [In her ginjika form: the volcanic eruptions in her surface are represented as hunger, so she's kinda ravenous XD)

Ganymede: (They/Them) Also known as Jupiter III, they always think they're on the top of the solar system, just because of their sizes.

Callisto: (She/Her) Also known as Jupiter IV, she's pretty much distracted, adventurous and curious more than objective, but she sure is the smartest of the Galilean Moons!

Europa /jʊˈroʊpə/ ( listen) (Jupiter II), is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet. It is also the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and was named after Europa, the legendary mother of King Minos of Crete and lover of Zeus(the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter).

Slightly smaller than Earth's Moon, Europa is primarily made of silicate rock and has a water-ice crust and probably an iron–nickel core. It has a tenuous atmosphere composed primarily of oxygen. Its surface is striated by cracks and streaks, whereas craters are relatively rare. In addition to Earth-bound telescope observations, Europa has been examined by a succession of space probe flybys, the first occurring in the early 1970s.

Europa has the smoothest surface of any known solid object in the Solar System. The apparent youth and smoothness of the surface have led to the hypothesis that a water ocean exists beneath it, which could conceivably harbor extraterrestrial life. The predominant model suggests that heat from tidal flexing causes the ocean to remain liquid and drives ice movement similar to plate tectonics, absorbing chemicals from the surface into the ocean below. Sea salt from a subsurface ocean may be coating some geological features on Europa, suggesting that the ocean is interacting with the seafloor. This may be important in determining if Europa could be habitable. In addition, the Hubble Space Telescope detected water vapor plumes similar to those observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus, which are thought to be caused by erupting cryogeysers.

The Galileo mission, launched in 1989, provides the bulk of current data on Europa. No spacecraft has yet landed on Europa, although there have been several proposed exploration missions. The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) is a mission to Ganymede that is due to launch in 2022, and will include two flybys of Europa. NASA's planned Europa Clipper will be launched in the mid-2020s.
