Adrastea [a-DRAS-tee-uh] is the second innermost known satellite of Jupiter. Adrastea was the daughter of Jupiter and Ananke and the distributor of rewards and punishments. Adrastea and Metis lie within Jupiter's main ring and may be the source of material for the ring. Very little is known about Adrastea.

Discovery Image
This is the discovery image (FDS 20630.53) of Adrastea. It was taken by
the Voyager spacecraft 23 hours before the closest approach to Jupiter.
This image is a wide angle picture taken with a 15 second exposure.
The range is 1.4 x 106 km. The faint line is the Jovian ring. Adrastea
is a small dot above the arrow. The brighter dot to the left is a star.

Subsequent Observation
This image (FDS 20630.48) of Adrastea was taken 5 minutes earlier than
the previous image. The exposure time was 96 seconds. The faint band
is the Jovian ring and is smeared because of parallax and spacecraft
motion. Adrastea is the bright line in the lower right. A star can
be seen as a line in the upper left. Notice the difference in length
and direction of the two lines. This image was used to verify that
the spot in the previous image was indeed a satellite of Jupiter.
