A massive asteroid struck Ganymede, Jupiter’s and the Solar System’s largest moon, roughly 4 billion years ago, producing a significant shift in its rotational axis. This event, which formed the conspicuous Valhalla Basin, was so powerful that it shifted Ganymede’s axis about 7 degrees, changing the moon’s geological history.
