Also, astronomers in the Renaissance didn't have telescopes, so the moons of Jupiter weren't part of what they saw around them anyway.

I hate to point this out to someone with the username "planetguy", but Galileo certainly had telescopes, definitely lived in the Renaissance, and discovered four moons of Jupiter.

And as someone with the username "planetguy" I hate to be corrected, but you're right. My defense is that I am planetguy, not historyguy. :)
