If Jupiter is visible at night, observe it through a pair of binoculars or a telescope. Can you see all four Galilean moons? Make a drawing of what you observe. Use Starry Night Enthusiast™ at about the time of your observations to identify the moons. Select Favourites Guides Atlas from the menu to place yourself at the center of a transparent Earth. Click the Now button in the toolbar and click the Stop button. Then use the Find pane to locate Jupiter. Close the Find pane and use the Zoom buttons in the toolbar to set a field of view about 25’ wide. You should be able to see all the moons labeled in their present positions. Compare your observations with the locations of the moons on the screen to identify these moons.
