the largest moons of jupiter
are not that hard to see:
ganymede is bigger than
the planet mercury;
io is a fiery place
with hundreds of volcanoes;
castillo sports a pitted face
with huge, primeval craters;
europa has deep waters where
new life-forms might abound–
yes, i love to watch these worlds
go dancing ’round and ’round.

I love that the Galilean moons are bright enough to see with our naked caveman eyes but we couldn’t for our whole existence because of Jupiter’s glare. Then we invented telescopes…
