The planet Jupiter now has a total of 79 identified moons. More than 400 years after Galileo Galilei discovered the first of Jupiter's moons, astronomers have found a dozen more — including one they've dubbed "oddball" — orbiting the planet. That brings the total number of Jovian moons to 79.
The planet Jupiter's four largest moons are:
Io
Europa
Ganymede
Callisto
Jupiter has 49 other named moons that are smaller than the Gallean moons. Since they are smaller than the major four moons, studies about them is still ongoing.
Jupiter also has 14 provisional or unnamed moon.
