CCD photometry of Jupiter's satellite Callisto in eclipse has been fitted to model light curves to determine polar radii of 67,168 Β± 50 km (north) and 67,106 Β± 62 km (south). These values are about 172 and 110 km, respectively, greater than that computed from Jupiter's equatorial dimension and its h
