***Moons of Jupiter***

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has, as of 2023, 95 known moons. The four largest moons of Jupiter—Io, Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa—were the first objects in the solar system discovered with a telescope. Galileo discovered them in 1610, and they are now called the Galilean satellites.
