On April 4, 2003, the official moon count for Jupiter jumped to 58.
The latest discoveries were made by a team led by Scott Sheppard and David Jewitt at the University of Hawaii, along with Jan Kleyna of Cambridge University.
The discoveries were made using the world's two largest digital cameras at the Subaru and Canada-France-Hawaii telescopes atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

 Astronomy - New Saturn moons - Richard Talcott
Of the 13 moons, S 11 lies closest to the planet, but it's still more than 10 million miles (16 million km) away.
That night, astronomers Scott Sheppard and David Jewitt of the University of Hawaii and Jan Kleyna of the University of Cambridge (England) discovered a dozen faint blips inching their way around the planet.
The moons, designated S/2004 S 7 to S/2004 S 18, all glow at magnitude 24 or 25, about 10 million times fainter than the faintest stars visible to the naked eye.

They all have retrograde orbits - moving in the opposite direction to the planet's rotation, says astronomer Jan Kleyna at the University of Cambridge, UK, a member of the team that spotted them.
This movement, says Kleyna, shows that they didn't form at the same time as the planet but were passing rocks "swept up" by its gravitational pull.
This could only have happened when the planet was young, with a larger, more gassy atmosphere that slowed the passing moons-to-be.

 Discoveries bring Jupiter moons to 58
HONOLULU (AP) - Six more moons have been found orbiting Jupiter, pushing to 58 the total number of known natural satellites of the solar system’s largest planet.
University of Hawaii’s David Jewitt and Scott Sheppard, along with Jan Kleyna of Cambridge University, announced the discoveries Friday.
The moons are tiny, perhaps just a mile or so across, and orbit Jupiter at a distance of tens of millions of miles.

University of Hawai'i astronomers yesterday announced the discovery of seven new moons orbiting Jupiter, bringing to 47 the number of satellites of the largest planet in the solar system.
Astronomers Scott Sheppard and David Jewitt of the University's Institute for Astronomy, working with Jan Kleyna of Cambridge University, used the 8.3-meter Subaru Telescope and the 3.6-meter Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope to make the discoveries, while associates Yanga Fernandez and Henry Hsieh did further work with the University of Hawai'i's 2.2-meter scope.
The names are from Greek mythology, and represent the children of Zeus and other figures associated with the supreme Greek god, whose Roman name was Jupiter.

When Galileo Galilei observed Jupiter in 1610, with his first primitive telescope, he saw that the giant planet was surrounded by four moving points of light, and immediately deduced that Jupiter had moons.
