Talk:Callisto (moon)

message: Anybody know the adjectival form of Callisto? The Greek accusative/oblique doesn't have any additional consonants, which is how we get Ionian from Io, for example. The only technical paper I've seen had Callistoan, but Callistonian (by analogy) and Callistan might also be possibilities. Any thoughts? kwami 21:31, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
:The Classics reference librarian at the UCSD library couldn't find anything, but suggested Callistoan kal'-is-toe'-un, thus tentatively confirming the single instance I could find in the tech literature, as well as giving it a pronunciation. kwami 00:18, 2005 May 28 (UTC)
::Found other astr. papers that use "Callistoan". E.g., age measures of Ganymedean and Callistoan surfaces. kwami 23:56, 2005 July 21 (UTC)
::Found an earlier source, from a time when astronomers were more familiar with the Classics: "Callistonian" in Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, v.71, 1911. — kwami (talk) 06:46, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adjectival form 

message: Does anyone know the source for the liquid ocean claim? One of my astro books says "Callisto is undifferentiated and hence apparently never melted". That doesn't directly contradict the liquid ocean claim but it makes me very dubious. It also shows a diagram of Callisto having a rock/ice mixture.

C. Polanskey, Europa and Callisto: Induced or intrinsic fields in a periodically varying plasma environment, J. Geophys. Res., 104, 4609–4626, 1999.
Reconciling an ocean and an only partially differentiated interior is certainly an unresolved problem!

message: "It is the third-largest moon in the solar system, about 99% the size of the planet Mercury but much less massive."
to me, this sounds a bit.. off.. I would fix it, but I'm not sure about what is implied by "massive". is it weight/mass or to size (I'm assuming the former, but I'm not sure which)--DiogenesTheHobo 03:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The quote is correct. By massive, we're referring to mass, as opposed to the size, which is how far across it is. Mercury is very dense, with a large metal core, while Callisto is composed of rock and ice. --Patteroast 21:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello,
the article is stating Like most other inner planetary moons, Callisto's rotation is locked to be synchronous with its orbit. But the article Inner_satellite#Inner_satellites_of_Jupiter doesn't include this moon as an inner satellite of Jupiter. Poppy 18:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I looked at the disambiguation page and didn't see any articles that matched the sense of the word used here very well (though I may have missed it).

message: I have a question pertaining to endogenic forces. It is stated that Callisto does not have tectonic activities or any sorts of endogenic forces due to its distance from Jupiter and its non-participation in the Laplace resonance. However, in the section surface features, it is mentioned that some surface features "were believed to be connected with endogenic activity" or "are possible cryovolcanic deposits". Isn't this a contradiction? Thank you very much. Mimihitam (talk) 20:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question about endogenic force 

message: The article says that Callisto was discovered in 1610. As it has a magnitude of 5.65 at opposition, it should be visible to the unaided eye. All four of the brightest moons of Jupiter are visible in this way, in theory.
:Yes, but good luck seeing any of them next to the bright Jupiter! If you block out Jupiter with a line running perpendicular to the orbital plane of the Galilean moons, maybe Ganymede and/or Callisto would be visible, but almost certainly not Io or Europa. Those two are just too close to Jupiter. Ref. Double sharp (talk) 14:19, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Originally said it could be as close as 80 km from the surface. That seems very close, more like Europa. Anyway the citation says 
"The thickness of the ice-I crust is 135–150 km, and that of the underlying water layer, 120–180 km."
And
" The allowed total (maximum) thickness of the outer water–ice shell is up to 270–315 km"
Have corrected the article accordingly Robert Walker (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You confused the "maximum allowed crust thickness" with a realistic crust thickness. In addition these numbers are a summary of models from two papers. Ruslik_Zero 20:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

message: In the Spanish Wikipedia Callisto's data talks about Callisto's perihelion and aphelion implying that they mean the same as periapsis and apoapsis (and those terms are only employed when the object is orbiting around the Sun). I spotted and explained the problem in the Spanish discussion page, but no answer was received, I would appreciate if any fellow English Wikipedian could go and change the wrong data in most of Jupiter's moons. I know this entry may break a rule of some protocol but, as it is considered a good article, I suppose all of its information should be correct as soon as possible.

message: The statement "" in the third paragraph of Callisto (moon)#Composition is not comprehensible. The two coefficients are not mentioned anywhere earlier, and skimming the reference (HOW DIFFERENTIATED IS CALLISTO?) doesn't leave me much enlightened. Presumably these are engineering terms relating to angular momentum, and can use some elucidation. Can someone who knows what they apply to provide an explanation or reference? Thanks, Tarl N.
