orbit: 11,094,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 16 km mass: 5.68e15 kgLeda was queen of Sparta and the mother, by Zeus in the form of a swan, of Helen and Pollux.
Discovered by Kowal in 1974.
Leda, Ananke, and Sinope are among the smallest moons in the solar system.
orbit: 11,480,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 186 km mass: 9.56e18 kgHimalia was a nymph who bore three sons of Zeus (Jupiter).
Discovered by Perrine in 1904.
Unlike the inner satellites, the orbits of Leda, Himalia, Lysithea and Elara are significantly inclined to Jupiter's equator (about 28 degrees).
orbit: 11,720,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 36 km mass: 7.77e16 kgLysithea was a daughter of Oceanus and one of Zeus' lovers.
Discovered by Nicholson in 1938.
orbit: 11,737,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 76 km mass: 7.77e17 kgElara was the mother by Zeus of the giant Tityus.
Discovered by Perrine in 1905.
Leda, Himalia, Lysithea and Elara may be remnants of a single asteroid that was captured by Jupiter and broken up.
orbit: 21,200,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 30 km mass: 3.82e16 kgAnanke was the mother of Adrastea, by Jupiter.
Discovered by Nicholson in 1951.
Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope have unusual but similar orbits.
orbit: 22,600,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 40 km mass: 9.56e16 kgCarme was the mother, by Zeus of Britomartis, a Cretan goddess.
Discovered by Nicholson in 1938.
Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope are especially unusual in that their orbits are retrograde.
orbit: 23,500,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 50 km mass: 1.91e17 kgPasiphae was the wife of Minos and mother, by a white bull, of the Minotaur.
Discovered by P. Melotte in 1908.
Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope have orbits highly inclined to Jupiter's equator (about 150 degrees).
orbit: 23,700,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 36 km mass: 7.77e16 kgSinope was a woman said to have been unsuccessfully (!) courted by Zeus.
Discovered by Nicholson in 1914.
Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope may be remnants of a single asteroid that was captured by Jupiter and broken up.
