Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has, as of 2023, 95 known moons. The four largest moons of Jupiter—Io, Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa—were the first objects in the solar system discovered with a telescope. Galileo discovered them in 1610, and they are now called the Galilean.
A montage of Jupiter and its four largest moons (distance and sizes not to scale) There are 95 moons of Jupiter with confirmed orbits as of 5 February 2024. [1] [note 1] This number does not include a number of meter-sized moonlets thought to be shed from the inner moons, nor hundreds of possible kilometer-sized outer irregular moons that were only briefly captured by telescopes.

Jupiter has 95 moons that have been officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union. But the number doesn't capture the complexity of the Jovian system of moons, rings and asteroids. The giant planet has thousands of small objects in its orbit.
8 Ιουν 2023 · Explore Jupiter's 92 moons including the infamous Galilean satellites and the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede.
21 Αυγ 2023 · All Moons of Jupiter. Most of Jupiter's swarms of smaller moons orbit much farther out than the Galilean satellites. Of these distant moons, the larger ones may be captured asteroids. The smaller ones are likely fragments from massive collisions.
Jupiter Moons Names and List. Planet Jupiter has 80 moons, though 7 moons are lost currently. Here you can find Jupiter’s moons list with their names. These 80 moons are mentioned here in order of increasing the distance from Jupiter.
A schema of Jupiter's ring system showing the four main components. For simplicity, Metis and Adrastea are depicted as sharing their orbit. (In reality, Metis is very slightly closer to Jupiter.) The rings of Jupiter are a system of faint planetary rings.
