The largest moon in the Solar System is Ganymede, the
seventh moon of Jupiter, notable for its many pits. Ganymede is the only moon in the Solar System
known to possess a magnetosphere. It was named after the divine hero (the most
beautiful of mortals) from Troy, who according to Homeric legend had a bit of a
fling with Zeus after the horny god abducted him with an eagle (Mrs Zeus was a
tad put out). Eventually Ganymede was granted eternal youth and became a life
director of Pepsi Cola. Felix
Karlosoroff is much taken with this tale when he hears it from his astronomer
brother Indrek , and he creates an exotic multichromatic triptych silk-screen
print of the story.
