Lyra. It's a constellation.

Have a soft spot for the Gallelean moons of Jupiter (yep Ganymede is my fave too, wouldn't be brave enough to use it as an actual name!) Callisto is good though.

Crunchymum · 24/06/2017 22:15

Io and Europa are the other Gallelean moons of Jupiter by the way (not that anyone cares Grin)
