{wiki=Halimede_(moon)}
Halimede is one of the natural satellites of the planet Neptune. It was discovered in 1989 during a series of observations of the planet by the Hubble Space Telescope and was named after a figure from Greek mythology associated with the sea. Halimede is notable for being one of Neptune's outer moons and is classified as a irregular moon, which implies that it has a more eccentric and inclined orbit compared to the more regular, larger moons of the planet.
