  Amalthea (moon) - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Amalthea was the last moon to be discovered by direct visual observation (as opposed to photographically), and was the first new moon of Jupiter to be discovered since Galileo Galilei discovered the Galilean moons in 1610.
The name "Amalthea" was not formally adopted by the IAU until 1975, although it had been in informal use for many decades earlier after its suggestion by Camille Flammarion.
The combination of Amalthea's irregular shape and large size implies that Amalthea is a fairly strong, rigid body; if it were composed of ices or other weak materials its own gravity would have pulled it into a more spherical shape.

 Amalthea (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amalthea is irregularly shaped, with dimensions of 270 × 168 × 150 km; the long axis is oriented toward Jupiter.
Amalthea's irregular shape and large size led to conclusion that it is a fairly strong, rigid body; if it were composed of ices or other weak materials its own gravity would have pulled it into a more spherical shape.
The result [2] was surprising: Amalthea's overall density is close to the density of water ice, although the moon is almost certainly not a solid hunk of ice.

 Amalthea (moon) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Amalthea (am'-ul-thee'-a, Greek Αμάλθεια) is the third moon of Jupiter (in order of distance from the planet), and the fifth in order of discovery, hence its Roman numeral designation of Jupiter V.
The exact mass of Amalthea was measured and its density was found to be as low as 1.8 g/cm³—it must be either a relatively icy body or a very porous "rubble pile".
The result [2] (http://ww.space.com/scienceastronomy/almathea_update_021209.html) was surprising: Amalthea's overall density is close to the density of water ice, although the moon is almost certainly not a solid hunk of ice.
