It is incredible to think what the view would be like. I'm guessing the moons would be virtually always in daylight when in-between Jupiter and the sun - like a full moon x 10,000. When on the farside - it would be spectacular seeing the other moons and the massive planet. Just need to figure out how to survive the radiation.

Full-body sensory insertion into a graceful atmosphere and orbit-capable cetaceoform avatar would be rather fun, I reckon.

And we thought Callisto was a dead, boring world. Now we know it has auroras. And perhaps an undercrust salty ocean. Oh, and it might be the place receiving the least amount of radiation that we could potentially reach and colonize (compared to Mars, Ceres, Europa and Ganymede).

I find it mind-blowingly incredible that we're effectively conducting rudimentary geology on remote bodies in our solar system, but while intelligent life on earth is largely absurdly vulgar at the present time, I'll allow myself a chuckle at the "Keck Observatory"
