Moons of Jupiter - The satellites of Jupiter could offer groundbreaking discoveries

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jupiter has 66 confirmed moons, giving it the largest retinue of moons of any planet in the Solar System. The most massive of them, the four Galilean moons, were discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and were the first objects found to orbit a body that was neither Earth nor the Sun. Learn more about the possibilities, challenges and potential rewards of exploration and perhaps even colonization of the moons of Jupiter in the following pages.
