Jupiter and the Galilean Moons
New Pole Data from JUNO Spacecraft

The Jovian system by Real World Globes is a vibrant addition to anyone's collection of globes!
Jupiter is surrounded by 79 known moons. Scientists are most interested in the Galilean satellites – the four largest moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Jupiter also has several rings, but unlike the famous rings of Saturn, Jupiter’s rings are very faint and made of dust, not ice.
Jupiter is named for the king of the ancient Roman gods.
