 | | Note that the outer satellites do not follow the simple period / axis relationship suggested by Kepler's third law because of the gravitational influence of the sun distorting the orbits. |
 | | Some asteroids share the same names as moons of Jupiter: 9 Metis, 38 Leda, 52 Europa, 85 Io, 113 Amalthea, 239 Adrastea. |
 | | Note that the satellites discovered between 1904 and 1951 (Himalia, Elara, Pasiphaƫ, Sinope, Lysithea, Carme and Ananke) were not officially named until 1975, well after their discoverers had passed away. |
