Jupiter has no planets but it has a lot of moons. The big ones, discovered by Galileo are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Galileo wanted the credit for the discovery but did not want to reveal the discovery, so he announced it with a Latin anagram, so that when someone else made the discovery he could say, 'aha! I knew that first!'. That's the way they used to behave in those days (Galileo anyway).
