General information, some statistical data and links.
106 images of the Galilean moons from Galileo with unusual descriptive text
But in 1610 when first pointed a at the sky he Jupiter's four large moons , and (now known as the Galilean moons) and recorded their motions back and forth around Jupiter
(Note that Jupiter's magnetosphere is far from spherical -- it extends 'only' a few million kilometers in the direction toward the Sun.) Jupiter's moons therefore lie within its magnetosphere, a fact which may partially explain some of the activity on
The four Galilean moons are easily visible with s; a few bands and the Great Red Spot can be seen with a small astronomical
Jupiter's Satellites Jupiter has 63 known satellites (as of Feb 2004): the four large moons plus many more small ones some of which have not yet been named: Jupiter is very gradually slowing down due to the tidal drag produced by the Galilean satellites
Also, the same tidal forces are changing the orbits of the moons, very slowly forcing them farther from Jupiter

Views of the Solar System: Jupiter
Views, animations, general information and data of the planet and its satellites.
The rings are very tenuous and are composed of dust particles kicked up as interplanetary meteoroids smash into Jupiter's four small inner moons, and
Jupiter's rings and moons exist within an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in the planet's magnetic field
But this Hubble image, taken in ultraviolet light, also shows the glowing 'footprints' of three of Jupiter's largest moons: Io, Ganymede, and Europa
These HST images, reveal changes in Jupiter's auroral emissions and how small auroral spots just outside the emission rings are linked to the planet's volcanic moon,
The four largest moons of Jupiter are known as the Galilean moons and are named, and
Inside the orbits of the Galilean moons are, and
Io is the top, left-most moon
Between Io and Jupiter are four little moons
The top-most little moon is Amalthea
Hamilton) This image shows to scale Jupiter's moons , and
Over the course of the following centuries another 12 moons were discovered bringing the total to 16
Again in 1996, the exploration of these worlds took a large step forward as the Galileo spacecraft began its long term mission of observing Jupiter and its moons

The spacecraft was deliberately destroyed to protect one of its own discoveries - a possible ocean beneath the icy crust of the moon Europa
The spacecraft was the first to fly past an asteroid and the first to discover a moon of an asteroid
Solar System Exploration: Jupiter
General features and data about the planet and its satellites.
Jupiter: The most massive planet in our solar system, with four planet-sized moons and many smaller moons, Jupiter forms a kind of miniature solar system
He had discovered Jupiter's four largest moons, now called, and
Collectively, these four moons are known today as the Galilean satellites
Galileo would be astonished at what we have learned about Jupiter and its moons in the past 30 years
Ganymede is the largest planetary moon and is the only moon in the solar system known to have its own magnetic field
In 2003 alone, astronomers discovered orbiting the giant planet, giving Jupiter a total moon count of 63 - the most in the solar system
The numerous small outer moons may be captured by the giant planet's gravity

In fact, you can see the four Galilean moons of Jupiter using just a good pair of binoculars
A Miniature Solar System Jupiter's Moons The of Jupiter
Considering that Jupiter is by far the largest planet in our solar system, it is only fitting that it also has the largest number of moons
The four large Galilean moons, along with at least fifty-seven smaller moons, some of which haven't even been named yet, make up what looks like a small scale solar system
The four Galilean moons are both easy to see with a small telescope and are fascinating subjects in their own right
Ganymede, the largest of Jupiter's moons, is larger than the planets Pluto and Mercury

The Solar System in Action: Jupiter
General information about the planet and its moons presented in a popular language.
It is orbited by 61 (sixty-one) moons, only four of which have significant size: Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa ( shown below right )
Once in a New Moon! In 2001, 10 further moons were found
In 2003, the number of known moons rose yet again to 61! Many are remarkably tiny, some as small as one or two kilometres
The new moons tend to have orbits which may indicate that they were captured by Jupiter's gravity, rather than forming at the same time as their parent
What a Sight! Close up details of Jupiter and its moons have been received by various probes launched since 1972
