The first measurement of the speed of light was done using Jupiter.
Jupiter is more than 2.5 times as massive as the rest of the planets put together.
Galileo discovered 4 of Jupiter 63 moons, namely, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto. These are called the Galilean moons.
Jupiter rotates in 10 hours. It's mainly gas, down to many km.
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons. It is covered with water and ice. Since life follows water on earth, it is hoped that there is life on Europa.

Is the current plan for seeking evidence of life on Europa on thin ice?
