People don't exactly recall who discovered Jupiter. All we know is that Jupiter was a Roman god, and it was a part of Babylonian culture, too. Galileo was a big part of discovering Jupiter's moons though, if you would like to know.

The discoverer of Jupiter is not known since it visible with the naked eye. The fact that it is a planet and not a star was known in ancient times by the Chinese and Arabic astronomers. They were called 'wanderers' because they did not stay fixed like stars.
