	Himalia, A Moon of Jupiter
		Himalia [hih-MAL-yuh] is the tenth known satellite of Jupiter and is the brightest of Jupiter's outer satellites.
		The brightest of Jupiter's outer satellites, Himalia, was captured and resolved, for the first time, in a series of narrow angle images taken on December 19, 2000 from a distance of 4.4 million kilometers during the brief period when Cassini's attitude was stabilized by thrusters instead of reaction wheels.
		It is likely that Himalia is not spherical: it is believed to be a body captured into orbit around Jupiter and as such, is likely to be an irregularly shaped asteroid.

		It was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at the Lick Observatory in 1904 and is named after the nymph Himalia who bore three sons of Zeus.
		Himalia did not receive its present name until 1975; before then, it was simply known as Jupiter VI.

	Himalia
		Himalia is a satellite of the planet Jupiter.
		Compared with the satellites of other planets of the solar system, Himalia is a small Moon with a diameter of 180 km and a mass of 9.56E+18 kg kg.
		Himalia is an average distance of 11480000 km from Jupiter and completes its rotation of Jupiter in 250.57 days.

		This near-infrared image, with a resolution of about 27 kilometers (17 miles) per pixel, indicates that the side of Himalia facing the spacecraft is roughly 160 kilometers (100 miles) in the up-down direction.
		Cassini's pictures of Himalia were taken during a brief period when Cassini's attitude was stabilized by thrusters instead of by a steadier reaction-wheel system.

		For many weeks, a friendly woman intensely cared for Himalia and she knew that the chances for finding a new home for the bird were pretty low since it would be more or less disabled for the rest of its life.

		The Himalia prograde group contains five known members and is spectrally homogeneous, arguing for a single progenitor body being responsible for the observed population.
		In particular, the relative orbital velocity between the two largest satellites, Himalia and Elara, is 175 m/sec, the largest Himalia-relative velocity within the group with the exception of S/2000 J11.
		Moreover, the velocity dispersion of the remainder of the group with respect to Elara is as large as 320 m/sec.

		Himalia is small, only 170km in diameter with a visible magnitude of about 15.
		I needed to have many of the dim stars in the area around Himalia to identify it, so I set up the two programs to display the same area of the sky at the same scale.
		After locating the correct star field, it was possible to see something extremely dim quite close to the position where Himalia should have been, but it seemed dimmer than 15th magnitude in comparison to nearby stars.

		First detections include methane fluorescence on Jupiter, a surprisingly high opposition surge on Europa, the first visual-near-IR spectra of Himalia and Jupiter's optically-thin ring system, and the first near-infrared observations of the rings over an extensive range of phase angles (0-120°).
		Himalia has a slightly reddish spectrum, an apparent absorption near 3 µm, and a geometric albedo of /0.06+/-0.01 at 2.2 µm (assuming an 85-km radius).
		If the 3-µm feature in Himalia's spectrum is eventually confirmed, it would be suggestive of the presence of water in some form, either free, bound, or incorporated in layer-lattice silicates.
