Callisto, illustration. Callisto, the second largest of the moons of the gas giant planet Jupiter, has a diameter of around 4820 kilometres. Callisto has a heavily cratered surface, formed as rocky debris impacts it from space. The large mass of Jupiter is thought to attract comets and asteroids, some of which impact on its moons. The preservation of these craters implies that Callisto has little or no geological activity.
