Talk:Ganymede (moon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The link/caption under the image looks crappy. dark blue on black, only the word "image" is visible on mine, and it shouldnt be in italics. - Omegatron
I changed it, but it could probably be standardized, along with the other moons, planets, or any images, i guess. - Omegatron
[edit] adjectival form
The OED has "Ganymedean" (no pronunciation given) for 'a follower of Ganymede', but its Latin source (Ganymēdēus) is for anything pertaining to Ganymede. Therefore 'Ganymedean' would serve as a general adjectival/denomymic form.
The pronunciation to be expected from the Latin long vowels is gan'-i-mi-dee'-un. Generally, when dealing with classical names ending in a long e like this one, the spelling -ian is used to prevent the stress from shifting to that long-e penult. However, this alternate form of the word (*Ganymedian gan'-i-mee'-dee-un) is unattested. kwami 01:44, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
I believe that Ganymede is a hoax. There are no opther moons or planets in this "universe"
if there is even a universe. Those pictures were done on the computer. I have made ones like that before on my 15 yr old computer. It is not that hard. Thank You.
[edit] Idea for an image
Since the article states that it can be seen with the naked eye, are there any GFDL images of said moon? Or even a simulated recreation of what it'd look like? youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 02:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] visible by eye?
Is this for real? I can see that it's magnitude of 4.6 makes it potentially visible, but I would think that Jupiter's glare might be a problem. If it was visible, how come not a single ancient astronomer seems to have noticed, and we had to wait for Galileo to come along with his telescope? Deuar 17:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
