Wonder of Wonders: Jupiter and its four “Galilean” Moons

If you want to feel the wonder of Creation, just take a look up at the nighttime sky when its full of stars. Even in a city today, you can see Jupiter right overhead. It’s presently in Gemini. When I was little, my father would set up his telescope in our driveway and get Jupiter in view. I marveled then and I marvel now to see the moons around Jupiter. If you look through a telescope for a couple of nights, you’ll see that the moons are moving. That is amazing!!! These four, easily visible moons, are called the Galilean moons, since Galileo could also see them. That’s amazing too!!!
