	Ananke (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ananke (ə-nang'-kee, IPA: [əˈnæŋki]; Greek Ανάγκη) is retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter.
		Ananke orbits Jupiter on a high eccentricity and high inclination retrograde orbit.
		The eccentricity of selected orbits is represented by the yellow segments (extending from the pericentre to the apocentre).

	On This and Other Moons
		If the sizes of the moons are expressed relative to their primary (the planet they orbit) there are still more surprises.
		Being close to Jupiter (it is the innermost of the Galilean moons) the planet's massive gravity stretches the moon by some 100m and locks its rotation so the same side always faces the planet.
		But nearby moons Europa and Ganymede peturb it when they pass, making the tidal bulges shift and heating the Io's interior with the friction of the flexing.
