Galileo published Sidereus Nuncius in March 1610, in which he details his observations of the four large Jovian moons. Therefore the observations he made would have occurred some time earlier in 1610, or perhaps late in 1609. My best guess is that his discovery occurred some time between 8:00 pm and 11:00 pm in the evening.

However, the first noted sighting was around 364 BC by a Chinese astronomer called Gan De.

In space where would you find Ganymede?
As a moon of Jupiter, Ganymede would be found in space revolving around Jupiter. Ganymede is the largest of the moons of Jupiter, with a diameter greater than the planet Mercury (but it is much less dense). It is the largest moon in the solar system.
What is the gravitational strength on Jupiter?
I only know a few; Mars - 3.73 N Jupiter - 25.93 N Saturn - 1.16 N if gravitational field strength' means the acceleration produced by a planet's mass, a = GMp/R² where G is the universal gravitational constant, Mp is the mass of the planet and R is the distance from the center of mass of the planet. just find the mass of the planet, g is constant, and then divide by the square of the distance....
What is the biggest planet in the whole universe?
The largest exoplanet so far discovered is. * Sept 2004. HAT-P-1, is located some 450 light years from Earth in the constellation Lacerta. It is nearly 1.4 times larger than Jupiter. * Aug 2007. TrES-4, a gas giant about 1,400 light years away in the constellation Hercules. It is 70% larger than Jupiter. * Aug 2009. Wasp -17 is located 1,000 light years from Earth and is twice the size of Jupiter.

What was Galileo amazed to find out about Jupiter?
that it is the lagest planet in the solar system.
What did Galileo use to make astronomical discoveries?
Galileo DID NOT discover Mars. Mars has always been visible from Earth to the unaided human eye and was known to and named by our ancient ancestors. Galileo is believed to be the first person to view Mars though a telescope in 1609.
Can you find you a funny historical cartoon on Galileo Galilei?

What did spacecrafts find when they visited Jupiter?
They found planet jupiter.
What did Galileo find in his scientific observations that convinced him that Ptolemy had been wrong?
When Galileo observed that there are satellites which orbit the planet Jupiter, this was clear evidence that not everything orbits the Earth.
Did Nicolaus Copernicus or Galileo Galilei first find out what happens with the Earth?
Nicolaus Copernicus found out what happens with the Earth's movements.
What would you find on the planet Jupiter?
Gas.
How were the contributions of Nicolaus Copernicus's and Galileo Galilei to the scientific revolution different?
Galileo used more advanced technology to find stronger observational evidence than Copernicus was ever able to provide.
