34. Jupiter has 67 confirmed moons orbiting the planet. These moons are separated into three groups:
Inner moons = these moons orbit the closest to Jupiter and are sometimes called the Amalthea group. The names of the inner moons of Jupiter are Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, and Thebe.
Galilean moons = these are largest of Jupiter's moons and were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
Outer moons = these moons are much smaller and further away from Jupiter. They also have irregular, elliptical orbit paths and many are captured asteroids.
