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.

Both groups are thought to represent objects that were captured by Jupiter, perhaps at the time of its formation when the planet was surrounded by an extended subnebula that could slow down objects that encountered it.
This led to the suggestion that a moon or a ring of material might be orbiting the planet at this distance.
The existence of a ring was verified by the first Voyager spacecraft when it crossed the planet's equatorial plane, and the second spacecraft recorded additional pictures, including a series taken in the shadow of the planet looking back at the ring material.

The moons of Jupiter are (in order by their distance from Jupiter): Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede (the biggest), Callisto (the second biggest), Leda (the smallest), Himalia, Lysithea, Elara, Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, Sinope, and many newly-discovered moons that haven't been named yet.
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, a large, icy, outer moon that is scarred with impact craters and many parallel faults.
Callisto is a large, icy, dark-colored, low-density outer moon of Jupiter that is scarred with impact craters and ejecta.

 The Angular Size of the Moon and Other Planetary Satellites: An Argument For Design   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For instance, the ratio of the moon's apparent diameter to that of the sun is 0.9719.
An annular eclipse is one in which the moon is too small to completely cover the sun, so that a thin ring, or annulus, of the sun's photosphere remains visible at mid eclipse.
This was caused by the moon's proximity to perigee at the time, giving it a slightly larger apparent size, covering those features first on the west limb, and then on the east limb.

The other, smaller moons have their orbits either between Jupiter and Io, or outside the orbit of Callisto.
The small outermost moons may be asteroids captured by the gravitational pull of Jupiter.
Amalthea, one of the small Jovian moons, is highly irregular in shape, and keeps its long axis pointed towards Jupiter as it rotates around the planet.

Their shape reflects their formation history, irregular objects are ill-formed moons or pieces of a larger moon, spherical objects were once molten spheres, probably at the time of their formation.

 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.

Lysithea's powers relate to the magic within Mokusei, which mostly appears in a form of deadly rings.
After she is fully transformed, Lysithea poses like Sailorjupiter but there is suppose to be the sign of Jupiter with a wreath on it, which includes the ringed lightning element.
Therefore, Only Lysithea herself can use it and is very hard to destroy unless it has to do with her and her whole life.

Some early civilizations were so influenced by the sun, moon, and planets that they felt moved to pattern their entire society after the order they saw in the sky.
The names that Simon Marius suggested for the first four moons began to be used in the seventeenth century, but most of the other moons' names were decided in just the last few decades.
These moons may also be fragments of a destroyed moon or asteroid, and by design their names all end in the letter "e." Again, possibly because of this naming scheme, some of the moons' names do not have very well known myths associated with them.
