Did you know...
... that today is Amalthea Discovery Day? In 1892, American astronomer Edward Barnard discovered Jupiter's fifth moon, Amalthea. It was the first moon of Jupiter to be discovered since Galileo's original discovery of the first four moons of Jupiter in 1610. Celebrate by spending some time looking up at the stars and planets tonight!
