		Moons massive enough for their surfaces to have collapsed into a spheroid are highlighted in blue; these are the "Galilean Moons", which are comparable in size to Earth's moon.
		Irregular (captured) moons are indicated by grey shading: light grey for prograde satellites, dark grey for retrograde.
		Those contrasting pairs are the moon Ganymede and the asteroid 1036 Ganymed; and the moon Callisto and the asteroid 204 Kallisto.

		For example, Jupiter's moon Himalia, Saturn's moon Phoebe and Neptune's Nereid have rotation period in the range of 10 hours compared with their orbital periods of hundreds of days.
		These companions are called Trojan moons, because their positions are comparable to the positions of the Trojan asteroids relative to Jupiter.
		In addition to the moons of the various planets there are also over 80 known moons of the dwarf planets, asteroids and other small solar system bodies.

		The Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, have orbital radii of 400,000–2,000,000 km and are among the largest satellites in the Solar System.
		It is thought that the three groups of smaller moons may each have a common origin, perhaps as a larger moon or captured body that broke up into the existing moons of each group.
		All Jupiter' s moons are tidally locked with the planet so that their rotational periods and orbital periods are the same.

		This constant tug of war causes regular flexing of the three moons' shapes, with Jupiter's gravity stretching the moons more strongly during the portion of their orbits that are closest to it and allowing them to spring back to more spherical shapes when they're farther away.
		Before the discoveries of the Voyager missions, Jupiter's moons were arranged neatly into four groups of four, based on commonality of their orbital elements.
		The remainder of the moons consist of an unknown number of small irregular moons with elliptical and inclined orbits, which are believed to be captured asteroids or fragments of captured asteroids.

	CottageBuddy - Io (moon)
		The moon Io is believed to have been discovered on 7 January 1610 by Galileo.
		Unlike most moons in the outer solar system, Io may be somewhat similar in bulk composition to the terrestrial planets, primarily composed of molten silicate rock.
		In contrast, celestial bodies with heavily cratered features, such as Earth's Moon, are considered to have "old" surfaces, since they have remained in their current state for billions of years.

		Several moons took several years to be confirmed, and in several cases were actually lost and rediscovered.
		In the Copernican system, the Moon was considered to be no longer a planet but a natural satellite of the Earth, and was the only body in that system whose revolution was not centered on the Sun.

		In addition to the moons of the various planets there are also over 80 known moons of the dwarf planets, asteroids and other small solar system bodies.
		As a consequence of this shift in meaning, the term moon, which had continued to be used in a generic sense in works of popular science and in fiction, has regained respectability and is now used interchangeably with satellite, even in scientific articles.

		Callisto, the outermost of the Galilean moons, is almost an exact twin of Mercury in size and appearance.
		The innermost two moons, Metis and Adrastea, patrol the outer edge of the rings, their small gravity being enough to keep the particles from flying out.
		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.

		Moons orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde orbits (regular satellites) are generally believed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of the protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Most regular moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet.
		The largest moons in the Solar System (those bigger than about 3000 km across) are Earth\'s moon, Jupiter\'s Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), Saturn\'s moon Titan, and Neptune\'s captured moon Triton.
