In 1610, Italian astronomer and mathematician, Galileo Galilei turned his telescope upon the planet Jupiter and saw there four small moons orbiting around it. This discovery disproved the officially held position that the earth was the center of the universe.
Nearly 400 years later, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, under the auspices of NASA, launched a small space probe named after Galileo Galilei: The Galileo Space Probe. On December 7th, 1995 the Galileo Space Probe entered into orbit around the planet Jupiter.
