No, the very famous astronomer who discovered the four Galilean moons; IO, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede was named Galileo Galilei. These four moons are the largest out of Jupiter's total 63 moons. Galileo discovered the moons on January 7th 1610 at the University of Padua in Italy using his own homemade telescope.
