33+ 4 Moons Of Jupiter Galileo Pics. Jupiter has a large number of satellites. Galileo, of course, was to take up the heliocentric model explicitly some years later.
Io, europa, ganymede and callisto. The rest are orders of magnitude smaller. Io is about the same distance from jupiter as our moon is from earth.
How much do you know about jupiter's moons?
They are the largest of the many moons of jupiter and have been named io, europa, ganymede, and callisto. 46 of these are less than 3 km wide and probably used to be asteroids before jupiter's gravity pulled them in. The use of the past tense in d makes it impossible. Galileo proposed that the four jovian moons he discovered in 1610 be named the medicean stars, in honour of his patron, cosimo ii de' medici, but they soon came to be known as the galilean satellites in honour of their discoverer.
