	Station Information - Triton (moon)
		Triton is unique among all large moons in the solar system for its retrograde orbit around the planet (i.e., it orbits in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation).
		Jupiter's moons Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae and Sinope and Saturn's moon Phoebe also orbit retrograde, but all of them are less than 1/10 the diameter of Triton.
		Moons in retrograde orbit cannot form out of the same solar nebula as the planets they orbit, they must be captured from elsewhere; it is thought that Triton may be a captured Kuiper belt object.

	Natural satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Most moons are assumed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Several moons are thought to be captured foreign objects, fragments of larger moons shattered by large impacts, or (in the case of Earth's Moon) a portion of the planet itself blasted 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 variety of external influences.

		Several moons are thought to be captured asteroids; others may be fragments of larger moons shattered by impacts, or (in the case of Earth's Moon) a portion of the planet itself blasted into orbit by a large impact.
		Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet.
		Exceptions are Saturn's moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences, and the outermost moons of the gas giants, which are too far away to become 'locked' (an example is Saturn's moon Phoebe).

	Triton (moon)
		Oddly enough, most of the references to "Triton" in the astronomical literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries are to the name of a supposed Martian canal.

		If confirmed by further observations, the tiny moon would the first Jovian satellite to be discovered since the spacecraft Voyager turned up three during its 1979 visit to the planet.
		The tiny moon, perhaps only 3 miles (5 kilometers) across, would become the ninth of Jupiterâ™s known outer satellites, and the fifth of those to have a retrograde, or backward, orbit.
		If confirmed, the new moon would likely be named after a figure from Greek mythology associated with typically a lover of the god Jupiter.

		Shepard and Mitchell landed on the moon in the lunar module (landing near the Fra Mauro Crater) on February 5, 1971, while Roosa orbited the moon in the command module.
		A shepherd satellite is a moon of a planet that orbits along side a ring of that planet; the gravitational forces of the moon confines the ring and giving it a sharp edge.
		Syzygy occurs when the moon (or a planet) is in opposition or conjuction with the Earth and Sun; the three bodies are positioned in a straight line.

	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.

		Galileo's discovery, in 1610, of Jupiter's four large moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto (now known as the Galilean moons) was the first discovery of a center of motion not apparently centered on the Earth.
		These three moons are locked into resonant orbits such that Io orbits twice for each orbit of Europa which in turn orbits twice for each orbit of Ganymede.
		nlike the Moon, however, the craters are quite flat, lacking the ring mountains and central depressions common to craters on the Moon and Mercury.
