The four Galilean moons form a natural experiment in how distance from Jupiter, composition, tidal heating, and orbital history produce very different worlds. The Galilean moons demonstrate tidal heating, ocean-world physics, orbital resonance, differentiation, and how habitability can exist far outside a star's classical surface-liquid-water zone when internal energy sources are available.

Enceladus is a small icy moon of Saturn with active jets erupting from fractures near its south pole. Enceladus provides a direct way to sample a subsurface ocean without drilling through kilometers of ice.

Triton, Neptune's largest moon, is an icy world on a retrograde orbit that strongly suggests capture rather than formation in place. Triton links Kuiper-belt composition, satellite capture, tidal evolution, volatile transport, and ocean-world science.
