Jupiter's four largest moons are called the Galilean moons, since they were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. They were the first objects discovered in ...
Remarkably, two small, inner Jovian moons, Amalthea and Thebe, along with their shadows, can also be found in the sharp Hubble view.
They are named so because they were the only four moons that Galileo was able to see. They are also the largest of Jupiter's moons.

Himalia is the tenth moon from the surface of Jupiter. It was discovered by Charles Perrine in 1904.
They are named so because they were the only four moons that Galileo was able to see. They are also the largest of Jupiter's moons.
