  Euanthe (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Euanthe (ew-an'-thee, IPA: [juːˈænθi]; Greek = ?), or Jupiter XXXIII, is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter.
Euanthe is about 3 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 20,465 Mm in 598.093 days, at an inclination of 143° to the ecliptic (124° to Jupiter's equator) with an eccentricity of 0.2001.
Euanthe belongs to the Ananke group, retrograde irregular moons which orbit Jupiter between 19.3 and 22.7 Gm, at inclinations of roughly 150°.

Moons massive enough for their surfaces to have collapsed into a spheroid are highlighted in purple; these are the "Galilean Moons", which are comparable in size to Earth's moon.
Pasiphaë's group, finally, picks up the remainder, with the exception of the moons at the inner and outer limits of the groups (S/2003 J 12 and S/2003 J 2); it is centered on a = 23 624 Mm; i = 151.4±6.9° and e = 0.156–0.432 (note the much larger spreads).
Those contrasting pairs are the moon Ganymede and the asteroid 1036 Ganymed; and the moon Callisto and the asteroid 204 Kallisto.

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.

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.

Io, innermost of the Galilean satellites and slightly larger that Earth's moon, goes through even greater gravitational flexing, with "tides" of as much as 100 meters (328 feet) in its solid rock surface.
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.

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.

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.

 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.

 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.

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.
