Traffic to our Jupiter article page is up 7000% because of the triple conjunction with Mars and Venus this week. Good excuse to share another awesome NASA public domain photo with this cutline?
Jupiter has at least 67 moons, including the four large Galilean moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Ganymede, the largest of these, has a diameter greater than that of the planet Mercury. You can see its shadow near the top of the giant planet in this public domain photo from NASA.
