Jovian Moons [ID: 1]
There are at least 63 jovian moons! The largest four moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, are called the Galilean satellites because they were discovered by Galileo. We do not get close to them because Juno is in a polar orbit, but occasionally the spacecraft is close enough for images to be worthwhile. For example at PJ17 we imaged a volcanic plume erupting from Io!

Yes I agree so excited to hear the Juno mission has been extended
Hello, so glad to hear that Juno mission has been extended until September 2025 while we're waiting Europa Clipper's arrival in spring 2030. Best regards.
