Intro to the moons. A Galilean moon is any one of the four largest satellites of Jupiter-Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto-that were discovered by Galileo in 1610. . The most important thing about these moons is that Galileo used his. Galilean Moons . Three of the Galilean moons are bigger than Earth’s . moon and one moon . are smaller than . E. arth’s moon.. Size. Galilean moons have a diameter of more than 200 meters..

Sep 2014 to Aug 2015 . A mutual event is an eclipse or occultation of one satellite by another satellite. Mutual events can only occur when the plane of the orbits is edge-on to the Earth. For Jupiter, this occurs for a 12-month period every 6 years.. Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto Discovered by Galileo in 1610 All of these moons are in Synchronous Rotationabout Jupiter The rotation period about each moon's axis is the same as that moon's orbit Raúl.

Based on the geological principles controlling Terrestrial Planets, we expect cold, dead worlds, covered by craters…. Galilean Moons of Jupiter. Jupiter formed an accretion disk. The disk would have formed directly above the equator of Jupiter.. As material accumulated in the disk, it was possible to form moons in the debris found in the disk.. -moon interactions at Ganymede: a key scientific target for JUICE .
