Jupiter and Ganymede
Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon, is also the largest moon in the entire solar system -- even bigger than the planet Mercury. It is also the only moon in the solar system that has its own magnetic field, most likely because it has a molten iron core like that of Earth. Scientists also believe there is a salt water ocean 200 kilometers below the surface of Ganymede, trapped between layers of ice.
