Hop on our spaceship; let's take a journey through Jupiter's moons! Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system, has many moons but the four largest are really special. They're called the Galilean moons. First stop is Io, the closest to Jupiter, famous for its bright, yellow sulphur volcanoes. Next is Europa, an icy moon that might have oceans beneath its surface. Hang on tight as we zoom to Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system! Our last stop is Callisto, the furthest Galilean moon, known for its many craters. That's the end of our journey. Jupiter's moons are truly out of this world!
