*79 confirmed moons*
(as of ’21 january 2020′)
.
(‘largest # of moons’ with ‘reasonably secure orbits’ of any ‘planet’ in our ‘solar system’)
.
(the most massive of the moons are the 4 ‘galilean moons’, which were independently discovered in ‘1610’ by ‘galileo galilei’ + ‘simon marius’)
(these moons were the first objects found to orbit a body that was neither ‘earth’ nor the ‘sun’)
(from the end of the ‘1800s’, dozens of much smaller ‘jovian moons’ have been discovered + have received the names of ‘lovers’ or ‘daughters’ of the roman god ‘jupiter’ or his greek equivalent ‘zeus’)
.
*the ‘galilean moons’ are by far the ‘largest’ + ‘most massive’ objects to orbit ‘jupiter’, with the remaining 75 known moons + the rings together comprising just 0.003% of the ‘total orbiting mass’*
