Callisto, the fourth moon of Jupiter and the third moon of Saturn (by weight) is actually a former asteroid that was caught and tamed by the gas giant’s gravity. It was originally a small scrap of rock, but has filled out quite nicely under the care of a loving owner. Callisto is actually the fifth name this moon has had. Each society to discover it has given it a different name, although all of those names have turned up as characters on Xena Warrior Princess.
Scientists speculate that below the surface of Callisto lies the biggest depository of raspberry jam existent in the galaxy. By 2036, NASA hopes to launch a probe that will be able to drill into the candy shell of Callisto can extract the jam for immediate retrieval. It’s hoped that the jam will arrive before the raspberry blight, which will wipe out the species in 2051. Said blight being long planned by the powerful Cherry Confederation who have long been tired of Raspberry’s popularity with the jam buying public.
