Of the 67 moons orbiting Jupiter, the 4 largest, smallest to largest, are Europa, Io, Callisto, Ganymede. The 4 in closest orbit to Jupiter are Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, and Thebe. These are referred to as the Amalthean moons.The 4 largest Jovian moons (Jupiter is "Jove" in Greek) are some of the largest bodies in the Solar system, after the Sun and planets. Genymede is larger than the planet Mercury.These 4 large Jovian moons would be planetesimals if they orbited the Sun. The moons smaller than these 4 are quite a bit smaller . . . many of which just have "J" (for Jupiter) numbers instead of names.
Voyager 2 discovered 5 new moons and 4 new rings around Neptune.

Jupiter, Saturn, neptune, and uranus have rings and moons. they are all gas giants. Saturn is the planet that is known for my rings but many don't accept the privillage of the planet and its atmosphere Saturn
Galileo was the first to observe the 4 largest moons of Jupiter (which are still known as the Galilean moons, in his honor).
