I heard some neat news (*) today at the Jupiter conference I'm
attending (http://lasp.colorado.edu/jupiter/FinalProgram.html) that
Jupiter's moon: Ganymede has a magnetic field AND a radiation belt
(the ions and electrons follow their own motion in the gany-magnetic
field). Neat! Maybe Ganymede has a bow shock and magnetotail too :-)

(*) I don't know how new it is, but it was news to me
