	Jupiter's Moon Thebe
		Thebe was a nymph and the daughter of the river god Asopus.
		Thebe rotates by approximately 50 degrees between the time these two images were taken, so that the same prominent impact crater is seen in both views; this crater, which has been given the provisional name Zethus, is near the point on Thebe that faces permanently away from Jupiter.
		The next two images show the moon Amalthea; they were taken with the Sun directly behind the observer, an alignment that emphasizes patterns of intrinsically bright or dark surface material.

	Jupiter's Rings Fact Sheet
		The four moons that the Galileo imaging science team identify as ring moons, supplying the debris that form the ring systems, are the inner moons, Metis, Adrastea and Thebe, discovered by Voyager 1, and Amalthea, first seen through a telescope by Edward Barnard in 1892.
		Amalthea - This moon, the largest of the four inner moons, lies at the outer periphery of the inner gossamer ring.
		Thebe -- This moon is near the outer periphery of the outer gossamer ring.

		It was later named after a nymph who was the daughter of the river god Asopus.
		This image of Thebe was taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft on January 4, 2000, at a range of 193,000 kilometers (about 120,000 miles).

	Two Galileo Views of Thebe
		These two images of the Jovian moon Thebe were taken by Galileo's solid state imaging system in November 1996 and June 1997, respectively.
		Thebe, whose longest dimension is approximately 116 kilometers (72 miles) across, is tidally locked so that the same side of the satellite always points towards Jupiter, similar to how the near side of our own Moon always points toward Earth.
		This is called the "leading side" of the moon and is shown at the left.

		Thebe (pronounced "THEE bee") is the fourth of Jupiter's known satellites.
		It was discovered by Voyager 1 and was named after a nymph who was the daughter of the river god Asopus.
		There appear to be at least three or four very large impact craters on the satellite (very large in the sense that each of these craters is roughly comparable in size to the radius of Thebe).

		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 inside of the tiny moon is fissured with caves and passages, with the walls of this maze carved in sqared spirals and wave patterns.
		Her moon is another unremarkable chunk of rock, although in the spirit world the stone faces and pillars have been carved to resemble Roman architecture.
		Thebe herself does not push either way on the issue of Jupiter as a star or planet; she trusts him, whatever he does, and that is that.

		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.
		Unlike the other large bodies, which have recoated at least parts of their surfaces, Callisto remains as it was when it formed four billion years ago, during the period of intense meteoroid bombardment that the entire solar system experienced.

		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.

		It is appropriate that her statue was placed in the building, because the temple was intended as the elaborate tomb of Queen Hatshepsut (an 18th-dynasty queen of Egypt), and Hathor was, among many other things, the divine guardian of the resting places of the dead.
		Situated on the east bank of the Nile close to the modern town of Luxor, Karnak was part of ancient Thebes.

		A montage of images of the small inner moons of Jupiter from the camera onboard NASA's Galileo spacecraft shows the best views obtained of these moons during Galileo's 11th orbit around the giant planet in November 1997.
		At that point, Galileo was completing its first two years in Jupiter orbit--known as the Galileo "prime mission"--and was about to embark on a successful two-year extension, called the Galileo Europa Mission.
		In all the images, north is approximately up, and the moons are shown in their correct relative sizes.

	The Other Moons of Jupiter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The reason for this is pretty simply: the gravity influence of Jupiter is pretty intense, and perturbations of the asteroid belt is a result.
		Each of these moons orbit inside Io - meaning they are very close to Jupiter.
		These moons are important because they are the "ring moons." They help the rings of Jupiter keep their form and sweep away any debris.
