How did Galileo use the four moons of Jupiter?
The four moons were discovered sometime between 1609 and 1610 when Galileo made improvements to his telescope, which enabled him to observe celestial bodies more distinctly than had ever been possible before. As a result of improvements Galileo Galilei made to the telescope, with a magnifying capability of 20×, he was able to see celestial bodies more distinctly than was ever possible before. This allowed Galilei to discover sometime between December 1609 and January 1610 what came to be known as the Galilean moons. :)

Is Pluto one of Jupiter's moons?
No! It used to be a planet and know it is a dwarf planet. It is at the edge of the solar system, and is pretty (as in really) far away from Jupiter.It is small enough to be one of Jupiter's moonsHi, just wanted to add something- why would you even think Pluto was one of Jupiter's moons?! They are nowhere near eachother. I would be ashamed if I asked such a dumb question like this.
