This is a spectacular image of a waning crescent
Moon and
Jupiter, which is seen at the bottom right of the image. The four sources of light around Jupiter are its four bright satellites namely -
Ganymede,
Callisto,
Europa and
Io. These satellites are known as the
Galilean satellites as it was discovered by
Galileo when he looked up at Jupiter for the first time in his newly formed telescope. The satellites can be seen clearly even through a small telescope.
