At the same time, there were some measurements that suggested that there might be a thin salty-slushy layer of watery-ice that creates current. Water supports current. That is why people don’t drop electric appliances into the bathtub! An instrument on the spacecraft that is sensitive to current measured something that, like on Callisto, suggested a watery layer was present on Ganymede and Europa as well.
This is a picture that shows the interiors of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto together.

At the same time, there were some measurements that suggested that there might be a thin salty-slushy layer of watery-ice right under the solid surface of Callisto that creates an electric current. This watery-ice layer is thought to be on Ganymede and Europa as well. This is a picture that shows the interiors of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto together.
