Galileo discovered them. Their names are: Io, Callista, Europa and Ganymede. He discovered them in January 1610. == ==
Galileo Galilei in 1610.
The four largest moons of Jupiter are called the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are some of the largest objects in the solar system, with Ganymede being the largest moon in the entire solar system.
No planet has 4 moons. (planets as far as in our solar system)
The four brightest moons of Jupiter are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are known as the Galilean moons and were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. They are among the largest moons in the solar system and are easily visible from Earth with binoculars or a small telescope.
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons. Actally theres Europa, Callisto, Ganymade, and Io. :] Ganymede, Io, Europa and Callisto Jupiter has 67 moons, of which four are major. Those moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Hans Lippershey invented the telescope, but Galileo Galilei improved it for astronamy. Galileo was the one who discovered four moons of Jupiter, The names of the moons are Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. Although Jupiter has over 60 moons those are the first 4 identified because hey are the largest.
Galileo discovered Jupiter's 4 largest moons, the Galilean moons. The largest moon's name is Ganymede.
Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter and that Venus showed phases like those of the moon.
The four largest moons of Jupiter are called the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are some of the largest objects in the solar system, with Ganymede being the largest moon in the entire solar system.
Galileo was the first to observe the 4 largest moons of Jupiter (which are still known as the Galilean moons, in his honor).
A Galilean satellite is one of the four largest moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. These moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They are also known as the Galilean moons and are some of the largest and most geologically diverse moons in our solar system.
Yes he did! Galileo was the first one to discover Jupiter's 4 moons.
Galileo did NOT discover Jupiter; just Jupiter's 4 largest moons.
Callisto is the 2nd largest and 8th closest of Jupiter's known moons, with an orbit about 1.8 million km from Jupiter. It was discovered by Galileo in 1610 and is the most distant from Jupiter of the 4 large Galilean moons. Jupiter's large moons orbit rapidly compared to Earth's Moon. Callisto circles Jupiter every 16.7 Earth days.
Yes. That is why they are called the Galilean Moons
No planet has 4 moons. (planets as far as in our solar system)
Galileo was the first to look at the planet Jupiter through a telescope, and to observe the moons of Jupiter (the 4 largest moons are still known as the Galilean moons).
The four brightest moons of Jupiter are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are known as the Galilean moons and were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. They are among the largest moons in the solar system and are easily visible from Earth with binoculars or a small telescope.
