Ganymede formed ten times faster than Callisto
Ganymede is the largest natural satellite of Jupiter and formed by accretion in about 10 000 years. This speed is explained by its proximity to Jupiter, in a sub-nebula denser than that of Callisto. This rapid formation allowed it to retain the heat necessary to separate rock and ice, unlike Callisto.
