Jupiter has been recognized as a special sky phenomenom since before recorded history. It is one of the five planets that can be seen without binoculars or a telescope (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn), and as such it would have been noticed by primitive people by the fact that, unlike stars, its position in the heavens changes over time. The name "Jupiter" was given to it by the ancient Romans.
