The name of “Ganymede” comes from “Gan-i-need”, the name of “Callisto” comes from “Kuh-Lis-toe” and the name lo comes from “(eye-OH)”. The moon “Lo” consists of many volcanoes. and water ice is covered through”Europa “ and”Craters “ are covered through Callisto.

From the earth, Jupiter has been studied through NASA. The telescope has been applied by NASA to read Jupiter. The photo of Jupiter has been taken through a telescope. Jupiter has studied through seven spacecraft of NASA between the years of 1979 to 2007. A few spacecraft have reached the nearest to the planet and few have stopped because of technical issues. They found that Jupiter is covered with air and gasses. Moreover, they learned about the moon and the rings of Jupiter.
