Did you know... Jupiter 🪐

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is known to have a v These moons are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

The four largest and most well-known moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, are called the Galilean moons. They are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are relatively large and are easily observable from Earth with a good telescope.

In addition to the Galilean moons, Jupiter has many smaller moons that were discovered through various space missions and telescopic observations. These smaller moons have diverse characteristics and are typically much smaller and less well-known compared to the Galilean moons.

It's worth noting that new discoveries about celestial bodies are constantly being made, so it's possible that the number of known moons around Jupiter may have increased since my knowledge cutoff. For the most up-to-date information, it is recommended to refer to scientific sources or astronomical databases.
