A moon-like object, named "S/2000 J 11" was discovered in 2000, but it later disappeared and hasn't been sighted since. So it is therefore no longer officially considered a moon.
The Galileo spacecraft launched by NASA, discovered that the moon Europa contains ice.
Scientists also now believe that Europa has salt-water oceans. This obviously excites astronomers because water (and ice) usually equals life (most likely in bacterial form).
