The visual illustrative journey throughout the Solar system would not be complete without the inclusion of the Jovian satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto.
If these moons were to orbit around the Sun not the Jupiter, they would be considered as a dwarf planets by themselves.
“I am continuing to visualise the beauty of the solar system around us. Especially interesting is the Jupiter’s moon Europa, it has an ocean twice the size of our own beneath its icy crust, it calls for further exploration both by artists here on earth and science missions in space.” Maija Says
