Abstract

The four biggest moons of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto - are collectively known as the Galilean moons, because Galileo Galilei observed them in 1610, making them the first moons discovered beyond Earth. To look for Jupiter's moons, we must first find Jupiter. The back pages ON 14 April this year, the European Space Agency sent a new spacecraft off on its eight-year journey to Jupiter.
