Ganymede in 3D — live position and orbit

The largest moon in the Solar System, larger than Mercury, with its own intrinsic magnetic field.

Ganymede is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Ganymede; you can travel in time, switch between the educational overview and the true-scale voyage, and compare it with every other body of the solar system.
