Callisto’s surface does not appear to have undergone any sort of geological activity because of the lack of tidal heating. Its interior is partially differentiated—ice layer on top and a rock and ice mixed together core. Callisto has a huge impact site called Valhalla that was produced about 4 billion years ago.
The moon does not form part of the orbital resonance that affects three inner Galilean satellites and thus does not experience appreciable tidal heating. Callisto is composed of approximately equal amounts of rock and ices, which makes it the least dense of the Galilean moons.

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system (larger than the planet Mercury), and is the only moon known to have its own internally generated magnetic field. Io is in a gravitational tug-of-war with Ganymede and Europa that drives the tides that make these moons so geologically active.
Answer: Most certainly! You can often get the best views of the moon through binoculars. Binoculars are suitable for viewing the Moon, especially if you wish to see the full lunar disc and want a quick view, with minimal set-up time. Also, binoculars are extremely portable.
It’s perfectly safe and there is no risk of damaging your eyes. However, the full moon (or even a quarter moon) is quite bright. It’s perfectly safe to look at the full Moon with a telescope. With a few exceptions, though, you’ll see far more by looking at the Moon around the times of the first or third quarter.

Use your binoculars to explore inside our Milky Way. Binoculars can introduce you to many members of our home galaxy. A good place to start is with star clusters that are close to Earth. They cover a larger area of the sky than other, more distant clusters usually glimpsed through a telescope.
