Farthest from Jupiter (outward of the Galilean moons) are the eight tiny moons: Leda Ananke Himalia Carme Lysithea Pasiphae Elara Sinope Jupiter's eight outer moons fall into two groups: Leda, Himalia, Lysithea and Elara at about 11 million km from Jupiter and Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope at about 23 million km. When the first version of The Nine Planets was written that was it. But in recent years several dozen tiny moons in various orbits farther out have been detected. Leda Jupiter XIII Leda is the ninth of Jupiter's known satellites and the smallest: orbit: 11,094,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 16 km mass: 5.68e15 kg Leda was queen of Sparta and the mother, by Zeus in the form of a swan, of Pollux and Helen of Troy. Discovered by Kowal in 1974. Leda, Ananke, and Sinope are among the smallest moons in the solar system. Himalia Jupiter VI Himalia is the tenth of Jupiter's known satellites: orbit: 11,480,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 186 km mass: 9.56e18 kg Himalia 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). Lysithea Jupiter X Lysithea is the eleventh of Jupiter's known satellites: orbit: 11,720,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 36 km mass: 7.77e16 kg Lysithea was a daughter of Oceanus and one of Zeus' lovers. Discovered by Nicholson in 1938. Elara Jupiter VII Elara is the twelfth of Jupiter's known satellites: orbit: 11,737,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 76 km mass: 7.77e17 kg Elara 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 asteroid1 that was captured by Jupiter and broken up. Ananke Jupiter XII Ananke is the thirteenth of Jupiter's known satellites: orbit: 21,200,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 30 km mass: 3.82e16 kg Ananke was the mother of Adrastea, by Jupiter. Discovered by Nicholson in 1951. Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope have unusual but similar orbits. Carme Jupiter XI Carme is the fourteenth of Jupiter's known satellites: orbit: 22,600,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 40 km mass: 9.56e16 kg Carme 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. Pasiphae Jupiter VIII Pasiphae is the fifteenth of Jupiter's known satellites: orbit: 23,500,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 50 km mass: 1.91e17 kg Pasiphae 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). Sinope Jupiter IX Sinope is the outermost2 of Jupiter's known confirmed satellites: orbit: 23,700,000 km from Jupiter diameter: 36 km mass: 7.77e16 kg Sinope 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. 离木星最远的(在伽利略发现的卫星以外)是以下八颗卫星: 木卫十三 木卫十二 木卫六 木卫十一 木卫十 木卫八 木卫七 木卫九 木星的八颗外层卫星被分成两组:距木星大约1100万千米的木卫十三,木卫六,木卫十,木卫七和距木星大约2300万千米的木卫十二,木卫十一,木卫八,木卫九。 Leda 木卫十三 Leda 是距木星第九近已知卫星,并且是最小的一颗: 公转轨道: 距木星11,094,000 千米 卫星直径: 16 千米 质量: 5.68e15 千克 Leda是斯巴达女王,也是Helen和Pollux的母亲,被宙斯封为天鹅座。 它由Kowal由1974年发现。 木卫十三,木卫十二和木卫九属于太阳系中最小的卫星。 Himalia 木卫六 Himalia 是距木星第十近卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星11,480,000 千米 卫星直径: 186 千米 质量: 9.56e18 千克 Himalia是一位为宙斯(木星)生了三个儿子的仙女。 它由Perrine于1904年发现。 不像内层卫星,木卫十三、木卫六、木卫十、木卫七的轨道与木星的赤道面有值得注意的约28度的倾斜。 Lysithea 木卫十 Lysithea 是距木星第十一近卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星11,720,000 千米 卫星直径: 36 千米 质量: 7.77e16 千克 Lysithea是大洋神俄亥阿诺斯神的女儿,也是宙斯神的情人之一。 它由Nicholson于1938年发现。 Elara 木卫七 Elara 是距木星第十二近卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星11,737,000 千米 卫星直径: 76 千米 质量: 7.77e17 千克 Elara与宙斯生下了巨人Tityus。 它由Perrine于1905年发现。 木卫十三、木卫六、木卫十、木卫七可能是一颗小行星的残留物质,由于木星的吸引而被俘获。 Ananke 木卫十二 Ananke 是距木星第十三近的卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星21,200,000 千米 卫星直径: 30 千米 质量: 3.82e16 千克 Ananke和宙斯生下了Adrastea。 它由Nicholson于1951年发现。 木卫十二、木卫十一、木卫八、木卫九有不寻常但类似的轨道。 Carme 木卫十一 Carme 是距木星第十四颗卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星22,600,000 千米 卫星直径: 40 千米 质量: 9.56e16 千克 Carme与宙斯生下了Cretan女神Britomartis。 它由Nicholson于1938年发现。 木卫十二、木卫十一、木卫八、木卫九的轨道不同寻常,是逆向的。 Pasiphae 木卫八 Pasiphae 是距木星第十五颗卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星23,500,000 千米 卫星直径: 50 千米 质量: 1.91e17 千克 Pasiphae是米诺斯的母亲,与一头白公牛生下了人身牛头怪物弥诺陶洛斯。 它由P. Melotte于1908年发现。 木卫十二、木卫十一、木卫八、木卫九与木星的赤道面有大约150度的倾斜。 Sinope 木卫九 Sinope 是木星最外层卫星: 公转轨道: 距木星23,700,000 千米 卫星直径: 36 千米 质量: 7.77e16 千克 Sinope是一位传说中未被宙斯成功追求到的女人。 它由Nicholson于1914年发现。 木卫十二、木卫十一、木卫八、木卫九有可能是一颗小行星的残余物质,由木星的引力俘获。 点击收听单词发音
