In astronomy, the moons of Jupiter are its "natural satellites". Sixty-three moons orbiting Jupiter have been discovered. New ones are occasionally discovered as detection methods improve. Some are very small and so were much harder to find. The four largestwere observed and recorded by Galileo in 1610, and are called the "Galilean moons".
