		The distribution of the known moons over the planets is shown in the following table, which also displays for each planet the last year of the discovery of a moon (per 2006-05-25).
		This table shows the moons that are on average the furthest from or the closest to the center of their planet, measured in units of 1000 km.
		The table lists the moons with the greatest density (compared to water), in general and for each planet, and the moons with the smallest known density.

		In Greek mythology, AutonoÃ« (Greek {{polytonicá¼ÏÏÎ¿Î½ÏÎ·}}) was a daughter of Cadmus, founder of Thebes, and the goddess Harmonia.
		In Euripides' play The Bacchae, she and her sisters were driven into a bacchic frenzy by the god Dionysus when Pentheus, the king of Thebes, refused to allow his worship in the city.
		Autonoe, being distressed, left Thebes to go to Ereneia, a village of the Megarians, where she died.

		The numerous small outer moons — which may be asteroids captured by the giant planet's gravity — hardly resemble the Galilean satellites.
		The moons travel in clusters and may well be pieces of larger objects that shattered in collisions with passing comets.
		Amalthea was the last moon to be discovered by direct visual observation — as opposed to photography — when it was spotted in 1892 by Edward Emerson Barnard using the 36 inch telescope at Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California.

	Jupiter, moons
		The Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, have orbital radii of 400,000–2,000,000 km and are among the largest satellites in the Solar System.
		It is thought that the three groups of smaller moons may each have a common origin, perhaps as a larger moon or captured body that broke up into the existing moons of each group.
		All Jupiter' s moons are tidally locked with the planet so that their rotational periods and orbital periods are the same.

		The Moon is one of the larger natural satellites with a diameter of 2,160 miles.
		The moons are 120,000 miles and 131,000 miles from the center of planet Saturn between the moons Mimas and Enceladus.
		The smallest moon is Deimos, at Mars, only seven miles in diameter, although its size now is rivaled by the small shepherd moons discovered by Cassini at Saturn and by others yet to be counted and named in the rings around Jupiter, Saturn and other giant gas planets in the outer Solar System.

		It was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at Lick Observatory in 1905 and is named after the mother by Zeus of the giant Tityus.
		It belongs to the Himalia group, five moons orbiting between 11 and 13 Gm from Jupiter at an inclination of about 27.5°.

	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.
		When it was discovered in 1978 it was realised that images previously thought to be of just Pluto had actually represented both the planet and its huge moon, and estimates of the planet's size had to be revised downwards.

	The Library - Astronomy - Jupiter
		With its numerous moons and several rings, the Jupiter system is a "mini-solar system." Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system, and in composition it resembles a small star.
		Jupiter's rings and moons are embedded in an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in the magnetic field.
		A third ring, known as the gossamer ring because of its transparency, is actually three rings of microscopic debris from three small moons: Amalthea, Thebe, and Adrastea.

		The moon has a thin atmosphere of sulfur dioxide and other outflux from the continuous eruptions, and leaves a trail of plasma behind it, forming a faint gaseous "torus" around Jupiter.
		The four small regular moons inside the orbit of Io received the most attention, as the irregular moons outside the orbit of Callisto were too distant for detailed observation.
		Galileo observations show that the ring material is very similar to the material making up the four inner moons, suggesting that the rings are not due to the breakup of a parent body but are created from dust and debris kicked off the surface of the four moons by micrometeoroid impacts.

		Mundilfari A Norse Giant who angered the gods by naming his beautiful children Mani (moon) and Sol (sun); the children were then forced to guide the chariots of their namesakes.
		All of Uranus's moons are named for Shakespeare characters, which is too bad, because there were plenty of Titans and monsters associated with him that could have been used.

		Jupiter and the other large moons subject Europa to a gravitational tug-of-war that stretches and squeezes the satellite in much the same way that Earth's moon raises tides in our oceans.
		Ganymede is the biggest moon in the solar system and, in fact, is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto.
		Unlike the other large bodies, which have recoated at least parts of their surfaces, Callisto remains as it was when it formed four billion years ago, during the period of intense meteoroid bombardment that the entire solar system experienced.

	The Moons of the Solar System — Euporie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The moon of Jupiter –; Euporie (XXXIV) – was previously temporarily designated as S/2001 J10.
		The moon by this name is in elliptical retrograde orbit (→eccentricity e = 0.143) with a →semimajor axis a = 19,394,000 km.
		When this motion was detected and compared to the changes in Jupiter's position, this body was classified as a true planetary satellite (and not a distant celestial body with its position projected near the planet).

	Natural satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moons orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde orbits (regular satellites) are believed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Most regular moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet.
		In addition to the moons of the various planets there are also over 80 known moons of the dwarf planets, asteroids and other small solar system bodies.
