A false-color image of Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, shown as a full globe against a black background. The surface displays a mix of muted purple, gray-green, and dark brown tones. Bright white impact craters and their ejecta rays are scattered across the surface.
A dark patinated bronze sculpture titled Ganymede with Eagle and Eaglet, after a composition by Benvenuto Cellini, photographed against a gray gradient background. The figure of Ganymede — a nude young man with curly hair — stands with his right arm raised overhead holding a small bird, his left hand resting at his hip. Beside and behind his legs crouches a large eagle with elaborately detailed gilded feathers.
