galileo

Answer:

The four bright satellites of Jupiter were discovered independently by Galileo and the German astronomer Simon Mayer in the early seventeenth century. There is evidence that these satellites were visible to the naked eye prior to the discovery of the telescope and the "discovery" may be more of a "confirmation". The nake of the initial maked eye observer is not known.
