b. From the above data, determine the period of Europa, the distance between Jupiter and Ganymede, and the speed of Callisto. Show all work. 

7. The brightest four moons of Jupiter were discovered by Galileo with one of his earliest telescopes.
These moons, lo, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are called the Galilean moons in his honour.
Some of the available data about these moons are given below.
