Galileo can refer to a measurement unit, a song, a play, a film, a Japanese TV series, or to a NASA space probe that studied Jupiter between 1995 and 2003 . All but the TV show are based on the Italian astronomer and scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642).
A unit of gravitational measurement, galileo or gal, is equal to 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s2).
Galileo Galilei
Galileo, born in Tuscany, was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism (the heliocentric solar system).
His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, (named the Galilean moons in his honor), and the observation and analysis of sunspots.

Galileo is the name of a space probe that orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2003. It was named after the astronomer Galileo Galilei who was the first person to observe Jupiter through a telescope and discovered Jupiter's four largest moons.
Only Jupiter, the Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter which Galileo discovered.The four satellites discovered by Galileo orbit Jupiter.

Galileo did NOT discover Jupiter; just Jupiter's 4 largest moons.
No, Galileo has been the only probe to actually orbit Jupiter.
