		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).
		If a certain planet has none of its moons in the top ten, then the moon from that planet that has the characteristic the most is also mentioned in the table.
		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.

	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.

	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.

		Ganymede is the biggest moon in the solar system and, in fact, is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto.
		Callisto, about the size of Mercury, is the third largest moon in the solar system (Saturn's Titan is #2) and is the outermost of the Galilean satellites.
		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.

		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°.

	Jupiter's Moons
		Callisto, the outermost of the Galilean moons, is almost an exact twin of Mercury in size and appearance.
		The outer 33 moons all orbit Jupiter in a direction opposite (except for J/2003 J20) to that which Jupiter spins, which leads scientists to believe they are captured asteroids.
		Nearly all of the moons that have been discovered in the last few years orbit retrograde to the direction of Jupiter's rotation, indicating that they are most likely not native to the system.

	Natural satellite Biography,info
		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.

		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.

		Moons massive enough for their surfaces to have collapsed into a spheroid are highlighted in blue; these are the "Galilean Moons", which are comparable in size to Earth's moon.
		Irregular (captured) moons are indicated by grey shading: light grey for prograde satellites, dark grey for retrograde.
		Those contrasting pairs are the moon Ganymede and the asteroid 1036 Ganymed; and the moon Callisto and the asteroid 204 Kallisto.

		Most moons are assumed to have been out of the same collapsing region of protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Several moons are thought to captured foreign objects fragments of larger moons by large impacts or (in the case Earth's Moon) a portion of the planet itself into orbit by a large impact.
		Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries; an exception is Saturn 's moon Hyperion which rotates chaotically due to a of external influences.

		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.

		The IAU follows several conventions in naming planets and moons, the main ones being that planets are given names of Roman mythological beings and moons are given Greek mythological names associated with the Greek equivalent of the Roman god.
		Moons tend be named after goddesses, while planets, with the exception of Venus, are all male gods.
		For example, Shakespearean names are assigned to moons of Uranus and in recent years the occasional Norse or Inuit mythological name has been assigned to newly discovered objects.

		Prior to the 2006 redefinitions, Charon was considered a moon of Pluto, but in light of the redefinition it is unclear whether Charon will continue to be classified as a moon of Pluto or as a dwarf planet itself.

		Two of the moons, Puck and Portia, are so small that they were only discovered by the flyby of the Voyager 2 space probe in 1985-6.
		The high tides will occur because the combined gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon, which is at its most effective at the time of the new or full moon when they align with the Earth, is further enhanced by a close approach of the Moon to the Earth.
		In an attempt to reconcile the generally accepted evidence that the Moon has a small metallic core with the seismic indications that its core has a density too low for a primarily iron composition, Mark Wieczorek and Maria Zuber of MIT suggest that a core of molten titanium-rich silicates could provide a solution.

	Jupiter's new moons get mythical monickers
		The names announced by the Paris-based International Astronomical Union (IAU) are drawn from the entourage of Zeus, the paramount god in Greek mythology, whose equivalent for the ancient Romans was Jupiter, also called Jove.
		As Zeus had a long list of amorous conquests, it was quite easy to baptise new moons as they were gradually identified over the centuries.
		The Pleiades were virgins who, according to rival myths, were changed by Zeus into doves, and then stars, to prevent them being ravished by the hunter Orion or alternatively committed suicide after their death of their sisters, the Hyades.
