Astronomy Fun Fact:

You can see Jupiter's 4 large moons in a good pair of binoculars. Most of the time, though, only 2 or 3 are visible. Want to know which moon is which? Have a look in Astronomy Magazine (they have a chart) or download software for the purpose. One such program is (the link is the download!) Galilean Satellites v5.3.


(L to R) Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa
