The four largest satellites of Jupiter are known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the most geologically active body in the solar system, Europa is believed to have a subsurface ocean that may harbor life, Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, and Callisto is known for its heavily cratered surface. These moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and have since been the focus of extensive scientific study.
