This composite of the Galilean Satellites shows images of the moons taken by the Galileo spacecraft, as well as details from the surfaces of the moons. Click on image for full size NASA Galilean Satellites The Galilean satellites are the 4 major moons of Jupiter, Io , Europa , Ganymede , and Callisto In this picture, Io, and Io’s surface, are shown on the left-most end, then Europa, and its surface, then Ganymede, then Callisto. Of Jupiter’s 60 moons, these four are the biggest. These moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Their discovery by Galileo was a key piece of evidence that the Earth was not the center of the Universe. Although Galileo initially thought they were stars, his continued observations over a couple of weeks showed that the objects remained near Jupiter. He was finally able to show that they were in orbit around Jupiter, thus proving that not all objects in the heavens orbited Earth. Shop Windows to the Universe Science Store!

ISTRAŽIVANJE JUPITERA MONTAŽA iz NASA-e prikazuje dio Jupitera s poznatom Velikom crvenom pjegom i njegova četiri najveća mjeseca, nazvana galilejanskim satelitima jer ih je otkrio Galileo Galilei još 1610. godine. Odozgo prema dolje, to su Io, Europa, Ganimed i Kalisto. Rusija planira sudjelovati u europskoj misiji istraživanja Jupiterovog mjeseca Europe u potrazi za jednostavnim oblicima života, objavila je jučer agencija Interfax pozivajući se na izjavu Leva Zeljonija, čelnika Instituta za svemirska istraživanja. Zeljoni je rekao da će projekt istraživanja Jupitera ubrzo biti uključen u program Europske svemirske agencije (ESA) za razdoblje od 2015. do 2025. godine.
