Add to ORKGEver since the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei improved his telescope making it possible to look further into space, people have been staring through telescopes into the far distance in search of new worlds. In January 1610 Galilei discovered the four biggest satellites of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, later to be known as the Galilean moons. About fifteen years ago the eponymous NASA spacecraft 'Galileo' entered an orbit around Jupiter to discover the Galilean moons once again. But this time from a much smaller distance and with a larger set of tools than ever beforeAerospace Engineerin
