If you want to see the planet Jupiter, you have to know where to look -- and when. Jupiter is sometimes not visible at all. I would suggest that you buy a couple of astronomy magazines. They usually have a sky chart giving you a "heads-up" on what to look for over the next couple of months, and where to look for it. Start by learning some of the major constellations. They'll serve as your reference points. Orion, the largest winter constellation visible from the Northern Hemisphere, won't be visible for much longer, so start right away.

These are much the same conditions that apply to Earthly viewers, as well. It would be easier to see Jupiter from the moon, in fact, since there is no atmosphere to interfere with ones viewing.

It would not be likely, because Jupiter's atmosphere is VERY thick. So, nothing would be visible from the surface. In fact it would be better to say there is no surface, just denser and denser gas, so you could never really be "on" Jupiter.

∙ 10y agothey could be seen using a telescope but that is from earth so from jupiter you could maybe use a satelite
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoFor example, if you were next to Jupiter, the moons of Jupiter can be seen very well, especially Ganymede, Callisto, lo, and Europa.

How many of the moons of Jupiter can be seen from earth with a pair of binoculars?
Four moons of Jupiter, also known as the Galilean moons, can be seen with a pair of binoculars. They are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These four moons were first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and have become famous objects of study in astronomy.
What causes the geological activity seen on some of the inner moons of Jupiter?
tidal friction
How many moons does the Jupiter have and what are they like?
jupiter has 63 moons
How many moons does Jupiter have in its orbit?
There are no moons in Jupiter. Jupiter does have 63 confirmed that are in a stable orbit around the planet though. There could well be more than this though, which have yet to be discovered.Jupiter have 64 moons.

Who saw the four moons of Jupiter?
Galileo is famous for having seen the four main moons of Jupiter.
How are the moons seen from the surface of Jupiter?
You would not be able to see the moons from the surface; Jupiter's atmosphere is too thick.
Drawn a simple diagram to explain how the moons could be seen from Jupiter and explain which moon would appear brightest?
a
Can other planets have eclipses?
Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis.

Why can't you see all Jupiter's moons through a telescope?
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
Could Jupiter orbit one of Mars moons?
No, the moons of Mars (Phobos and Phoebe) orbit Mars. Jupiter is another planet and has its own moons.
Can callisto be seen from earth with a telescope?
Yes, all four of Jupiter's large moons can be seen with binoculars.
What is so significant about the galilean moons?
They're fairly big for moons, although Jupiter itself is big. The four "Galilean" moons of Jupiter were the first "moons" other than our own Moon to be seen, by Galileo using his new telescope.
