"IAU Symposium 269 celebrates the 400th anniversary of Galileo Galilei's discovery
of the Medicean Moons, Jupiter's four largest satellites, exploring the impact his
findings have had on science and the humanities. Galileo's instrumental discovery
and his belief that the planets and moons in our Solar System could be habitable worlds
encouraged a deeper understanding of our place in the Universe. Today, ongoing space
missions to Jupiter's moons, our own Moon, Mars, Saturn and Enceladus reveal our continued
fascination with the possibilities of alien life, but this time with a focus on potential
host sites for primitive life forms. These critical reviews examine our present knowledge
of the Jupiter system and consider how future space missions and improvements in telescopes
will bolster the contemporary vision of our Solar System, of the many known extrasolar
planetary systems and of life forms beyond the Solar System."--Back cover
