With eight planets in our solar system, more than 200 moons surround those natural satellites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jupiter, one of the most recognizable planets,<\/a> has 80 of those moons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On this day in history,<\/a> Jan. 7, 1610, Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter \u2014 making it the first observation of this planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Galileo Galilei was an Italian philosopher and astronomer born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy,<\/a> according to Britannica.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After moving to Florence as a young child, Galileo attended school, then went to the University of Pisa to study medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While there, he became interested in mathematics \u2014 ultimately dropping out of college without a degree to work on his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, Galileo was always teaching himself new skills and facts, according to Britannica.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Galileo was best known for producing powerful telescopes \u2014 and used one of them to discover four moons surrounding Jupiter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Jan. 7, 1610, Galileo discovered four moons revolving around Jupiter \u2014 a discovery that would change his life forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These four moons are Jupiter\u2019s largest satellites \u2014 lo, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto \u2014 also known as Galilean Moons, according to National Geographic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This discovery helped him prove that the Earth did indeed revolve around the sun, a fact that was not accepted at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Years later, Galileo faced charges for believing and advocating for the Copernican theory \u2014 the idea that the Earth revolves around the sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This theory was largely against the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He ultimately pled guilty and was put on house arrest indefinitely by Pope Urban VIII, according to History.com.<\/p>\n

He spent the rest of his life in a villa near Florence before his death on Jan. 8, 1642.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jupiter is fifth in line from the sun and is by far the largest planet in the solar system, according to NASA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for the giant red spot on the planet?\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a huge storm that\u2019s bigger than Earth \u2014\u00a0having grown for hundreds of years, according to NASA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
