Why was the discovery of moons orbiting Jupiter a significant event?
Before moons were discovered orbiting Jupiter it was thought that all objects orbited the Earth, thus making the Earth the center of the universe, and therefore 'special'. When it was discovered that Jupiter had moons, that meant that celestial bodies were orbiting one another. This shattered the geocentric, (earth-centered), view of the cosmos. Another way of saying this is that God created man in his image, man rules the Earth, therefore man is the best, and the whole universe is beholding to man. The moons of Jupiter ruined that view. For thousands of years man has been overflowing with pride, and just can't handle that it's not all about 'man'. Well, guess what bub, you are just, as Carl Sagan puts it "a speck of dust floating on a sunbeam".

Does the planet Jupiter have any moons orbiting it and if so how many and describe them?
Jupiter has 63 discovered moons. most of them tiny asteroids a few kilometers in diameter. there are however only 4 large and interesting moons orbiting Jupiter, these are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. also known as the Galileo satellites. the closest one, Io is full of volcanic activity caused by the extreme tidal with Jupiter. the rest of the moons are fairly rich in Hydrogen and oxygen and therefor also water. it is believed on Europa alone it is more liquid water under its icy surface then there is here on the entire Earth.The moons of Jupiter have the four largest moons they are ganymede, Io, europa, and calisto. about 60 more moons have been found over the centeries
