Jupiter is near enough and bright enough to be seen from Earth, so as long as people have lived, it has been possible to see it. As I am typing this, on August the 11th 2009, it is possible to see Jupiter at night. From the northern hemisphere, it looks like a very bright star towards the south east. It is much brighter than anything else apart from the moon. It will be possible to see it every clear night for many months to come, right throughout the winter.
What else can I help you with?
How long has Jupiter been in space?
Jupiter has been in space since the formation of the solar system, which is estimated to be around 4.6 billion years ago. It is one of the oldest celestial bodies in our solar system and has been orbiting the Sun for billions of years.
When was Jupiter first found?
Jupiter has been visible in the night sky for as long as humans can remember. In 1610 Galileo Galilei published his first accounts of his observations of Jupiter with his telescope. He is credited with finding the first four of Jupiter's moons, which are collectively known as the "Galilean Moons" in his honour. the person who found Jupiter was god. He made everything
Who discovered Jupiter?
The planet is and always has been visible to the naked eye and has therefore been know to everyone since prehistoric times. If any one person discovered it, that person's name is long lost to history. It was not until Galileo improved the telescope in 1610 that the 4 largest moons circling Jupiter became known.
How many years has the hurricane on Jupiter raged?
There are several. The largest and best known is Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which is thought to be a super-hurricane sucking up odd materials from the depths of Jupiter's violent atmosphere and turning the cloudtops red. It has been there since Galileo first turned his telescope skywards 400 years ago, but we have no idea how long it had been going on. There have been other cyclonic storms on Jupiter, some of which have lasted for many years.
A planet known for its great red spot?
The Great Red Spot is a feature of planet Jupiter. The Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm, similar to a hurricane, which has been raging on the planet for a long time. It's not known exactly how long the storm has been raging on the planet. But we do know it's existed for over 347 years, because it was first discovered by Giovanni Domenico Cassini, with a telescope in 1665. There is recent evidence that the storm is beginning to slowly shrink.

Who invented jupiter?
There is no single person who is credited with the discovery of Jupiter. Jupiter is one of the five planets that can be seen in the night sky without using a telescope or binoculars. The planet Jupiter has been known since ancient times and was observed for thousands of years by the people of many different cultures. Galileo was the first to observe Jupiter with a telescope, as Jupiter can be seen with the naked eye, the ancients probably the ones who discovered it. Jupiter can be seen from planet earth, so it is hard to tell who actually saw it first! We will never know when Jupiter was discovered. As it can be the third brightest thing in the night sky, it must have been known to the ancients. It's impossible to know. It's always been visible in the sky to the naked eye as long as man is known to have existed. The planet Jupiter is easily visible to the unaided human eye at night. As such it has been known to man since ancient times and therefore there is no attributed discoverer. 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. It will never be known who discovered Jupiter. It has certainly been known since historical times and it would certainly have been seen by the earliest of humans as they looked up into the skies.
How long has the big dot on Jupiter been there?
