In astronomy, the moons of Jupiter are its "natural satellites". Sixty-seven moons orbiting Jupiter have been discovered. New ones are occasionally discovered as detection methods improve. Some are very small and so were much harder to find.
The four largest were observed and recorded by Galileo in 1610, and are called the "Galilean moons". These four are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. They are roughly the same size as Earth's moon, some are a bit bigger, some are smaller.
