The Himalia group is a group of irregular satellites that orbit the planet Jupiter. It is named after Himalia, the largest member of the group. The group consists of several small moons that share similar orbital characteristics, such as their distance from Jupiter, inclination, and eccentricity. Himalia, the largest moon in the group, was discovered in 1904 and has a diameter of about 170 kilometers (106 miles).
