A basic division is between the eight inner regular moons with nearly circular orbits near the plane of Jupiter's equator, which are believed to have formed with Jupiter, and an unknown number of small irregular moons, with elliptical and inclined orbits, which are believed to be captured asteroids or fragments of captured asteroids.
The four Galilean moons were all discovered by Galileo Galilei, orbit between 400,000 and 2,000,000 km, and include some of the largest moons in the solar system.
Carpo is another isolated case; at the inner edge of the Ananke group, it revolves in the direct sense.

Carpo (kar'-poe, ; Greek Καρπώ), or Jupiter XLVI, is a natural satellite of Jupiter.It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2003, and was provisionally designated as S/2003 J 20 until it received its name in early 2005
Carpo is about 3 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 17,145 Mm in 458.625 days, at an inclination of 56° to the ecliptic (55° to Jupiter's equator), and with an eccentricity of 0.2736.
It is named after Carpo, one of the Horae, and a daughter of Zeus (Jupiter).

The moon Io is believed to have been discovered on 7 January 1610 by Galileo.
Unlike most moons in the outer solar system, Io may be somewhat similar in bulk composition to the terrestrial planets, primarily composed of molten silicate rock.
In contrast, celestial bodies with heavily cratered features, such as Earth's Moon, are considered to have "old" surfaces, since they have remained in their current state for billions of years.

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.

Moons orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde orbits (regular satellites) are generally believed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of the 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.

It is the third-largest moon in the solar system, about the same size as the planet Mercury.
Although the name "Callisto" was suggested by Simon Marius soon after the moon's discovery, this name and the names of the other Galilean satellites fell into disfavour for a considerable time, and were not revived in common use until the mid-20th century.
Galileo orbiter data suggest that the interior is composed of compressed rock and ice, with the amount of rock increasing with depth due to partial settling of its constituents.
