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.
来自伽利略号近红外测绘光谱仪（NIMS）的反射光谱表明，木星最大的卫星木卫三的表面含有水合物质。这些物质被解释为与在木卫二上发现的物质相似，即主要是源自地下流体盐水层的冻结硫酸镁盐水。
