If you want to see the planet Jupiter, you have to know where to look -- and when. Jupiter is sometimes not visible at all. I would suggest that you buy a couple of astronomy magazines. They usually have a sky chart giving you a "heads-up" on what to look for over the next couple of months, and where to look for it. Start by learning some of the major constellations. They'll serve as your reference points. Orion, the largest winter constellation visible from the Northern Hemisphere, won't be visible for much longer, so start right away.
Four moons of Jupiter, also known as the Galilean moons, can be seen with a pair of binoculars. They are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These four moons were first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and have become famous objects of study in astronomy.

He could only make out four of Jupiters' largest moons.
jupiter has 63 moons
Jupiter currently has 79 known moons.
Galileo is famous for having seen the four main moons of Jupiter.
You would not be able to see the moons from the surface; Jupiter's atmosphere is too thick.
a
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
No, the moons of Mars (Phobos and Phoebe) orbit Mars. Jupiter is another planet and has its own moons.
Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis.

Yes, all four of Jupiter's large moons can be seen with binoculars.
They're fairly big for moons, although Jupiter itself is big. The four "Galilean" moons of Jupiter were the first "moons" other than our own Moon to be seen, by Galileo using his new telescope.
The angular diameter of Jupiter as seen from Callisto is approximately 65 arcminutes. This means that Jupiter appears to be about 1 degree wide in the sky from Callisto, which is one of Jupiter's moons.
Jupiter's moons do not have moons. No moon in the Solar System has a moon orbiting it.

we can't use jupiters moons for anything because fistly we can not get out that far to reach Jupiters moon and if we could it would take thousands of years and Jupiters Moons would be to big to do anything with anyway. so the answer to What could Jupiter's moons be used for? is....Nothing.
