Currently, we are aware of 63 moons of Jupiter. But each new space probe to Jupiter discovers new moons smaller than the ones before, and it seems likely that there are still a few more yet to be found.

Four of Jupiter's moons are big enough that Galileo was able to see them even through his very small telescope; these are Ganymede, Europa, Io and Callisto.
