Jupiter has four large natural satellites known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are among the largest in the solar system. Ganymede, in particular, is the largest moon, even bigger than the planet Mercury. Each of these moons has unique characteristics and geological features.
