Jupiter LI
Jupiter LI refers to "Jupiter Lagrange Point I," which is one of the five Lagrange points in the Jupiter-Sun system. Lagrange points are positions in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as a planet and the Sun, balance the centrifugal force felt by a smaller object, allowing it to maintain a stable position relative to the two larger bodies.
Jupiter LII
Jupiter LII, or Jupiter 52, is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is classified as an irregular moon, which means it has a non-spherical shape and orbits the planet at great distances, often in eccentric or inclined paths. The moons of Jupiter are categorized into various groups based on their orbits and physical characteristics. Jupiter LII is part of a set of moons discovered during the early observational period of the gas giant.
Jupiter LIV
Jupiter LIV, also known as "Livia," is one of Jupiter's many moons. It was discovered in 2020 and is part of the group of moons that were likely captured by Jupiter's gravity rather than formed in orbit around it. Livia is classified as an irregular moon, which typically implies a more eccentric and inclined orbit compared to the regular moons that orbit closer to the planet.
Jupiter LIX
Jupiter LIX, also known as Jupiter 59, is one of the natural satellites of Jupiter. It is a small, irregularly shaped moon that is part of Jupiter's outer group of moons. Jupiter LIX is thought to have formed from the debris of larger celestial bodies and is characterized by its distant and eccentric orbit around the planet. Its precise physical characteristics, such as size and surface composition, may not be fully understood due to its distance and the limited observations available.
Jupiter LV
Jupiter LV, often referred to in specific contexts, could relate to several different aspects depending on the field of discussion. Here are a few potential meanings: 1. **Jupiter Launch Vehicles**: This could refer to the family of launch vehicles designed for space missions. They might be involved in carrying satellites to orbit or delivering payloads for exploratory missions.
Jupiter LVI
Jupiter LVI, also known as S/2003 J 5, is one of the natural satellites of Jupiter. It is a part of the irregular group of moons, which are typically smaller and have more eccentric orbits compared to the larger, regular moons of Jupiter. Jupiter LVI was discovered in 2003, and like many of Jupiter's outer moons, it has a retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits Jupiter in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation.
Jupiter LXI
Jupiter LXI, also known as S/2003 J 3, is a small moon of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2003 and is part of the irregular group of moons that orbit the planet. This group is believed to have been captured by Jupiter's gravity rather than having formed in place. Jupiter LXI is one of the numerous smaller moons of Jupiter, which vary greatly in size and orbit. The moon is roughly 2 kilometers in diameter and has an irregular shape.
Jupiter LXIII
Jupiter LXIII is a designation for a moon of Jupiter, also known by its more common name, "Leda." It was discovered in 1974 by a team of astronomers led by Charles Kowal at the Palomar Observatory. Leda is one of the many irregular moons of Jupiter, which are thought to be captured objects rather than bodies that formed in orbit around the planet.
Jupiter LXIV
Jupiter LXIV, also known as S/2018 J1, is a moon of Jupiter that was discovered in 2018. It is one of the many irregular moons that orbit the gas giant. Jupiter LXIV is relatively small and has an irregular shape, consistent with other moons in this category. It orbits at a considerable distance from Jupiter and has a highly inclined and eccentric orbit. The designation "LXIV" indicates that it is the 64th known moon of Jupiter.
Jupiter LXIX
Jupiter LXIX, also known as S/2003 J 12, is a small moon of Jupiter. It is one of the many natural satellites that orbit the gas giant. This moon was discovered in 2003, and it is part of a group of Jovian moons that are irregular satellites, meaning they have atypical orbits that can be eccentric and inclined.
Jupiter LXVI
Jupiter LXVI, also known as "Thyone," is one of the many moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2003 and is part of the group of moons that are thought to have originated as captured objects from the Kuiper Belt or other regions of space rather than having formed in place around Jupiter. Thyone is one of the outer irregular moons of Jupiter, characterized by its distant and eccentric orbit.
Jupiter LXVII
Jupiter LXVII, also known as S/2011 J 1, is a small natural satellite of Jupiter. It is one of several moons that orbit the gas giant and was discovered in 2011. Like many of Jupiter's smaller moons, it is irregularly shaped and belongs to a group of outer moons that are thought to be captured asteroids or debris. Jupiter LXVII has a diameter of approximately 2 kilometers (about 1.
Jupiter LXVIII
Jupiter LXVIII, also known as S/2020 J1, is one of the many moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2020 and is part of a group of irregular moons that orbit the planet at great distances and with varying inclinations. This moon is relatively small and orbits Jupiter in a prograde direction, meaning it moves in the same direction as Jupiter's rotation.
Jupiter LXX
Jupiter LXX, also known as S/2018 J1, is a natural satellite of Jupiter that was discovered in 2018. It is part of a larger group of moons that orbit Jupiter and is one of the many irregular satellites that are characterized by their distant orbits and often irregular shapes. The moon's designation as "LXX" indicates that it is the 70th moon of Jupiter to be cataloged in the order of its discovery.
Jupiter LXXII
Jupiter LXXII is one of the many moons of Jupiter, specifically designated as a minor moon. It was discovered in 2003 and is part of the larger group of irregular moons that orbit the gas giant. Specifically, Jupiter LXXII belongs to the Carme group, which consists of moons that share similar orbital characteristics and are thought to have originated from the same parent body or from a similar collisional event.
Kale (moon)
Kale, also known as Kalliste, is one of the natural satellites of the planet Saturn. It is a member of the Inuit group of moons, which are characterized by their relatively small sizes and irregular shapes. Discovered in 2000, Kale has a diameter of about 22 kilometers (14 miles).
Kallichore (moon)
Kallichore is one of Jupiter's moons, specifically a member of the Himalia group of irregular satellites. It was discovered in 2000 and is named after a character from Greek mythology. Kallichore is notable for its relatively small size and irregular orbit, which distinguishes it from the larger and more spherical moons of Jupiter.
Kalyke
Kalyke is a term that can refer to a few different things depending on the context, but it is most commonly associated with: 1. **Astronomy**: Kalyke is the name of one of the moons of Jupiter. Discovered in 2000, it is a member of the Himalia group of moons and has a relatively irregular shape and orbit.
Kore (moon)
Kore, also known as "Kore the Moon" or "Kore," is one of the moons of the dwarf planet Haumea, which is located in the Kuiper Belt of our solar system. Haumea itself is unique and notable for its elongated shape and rapid rotation. Kore was discovered in 2003 and is one of at least two known moons of Haumea, the other being Hi'iaka.
Leda (moon)
Leda is one of the many moons of Jupiter. It is a small and irregularly shaped moon, designated as Jupiter XX. Leda was discovered in 1974 by astronomers Charles T. Kowal and is named after Leda, a figure from Greek mythology who was the mother of Helen of Troy. The moon has an average diameter of about 20 kilometers (approximately 12 miles) and orbits Jupiter at a distance of approximately 11.2 million kilometers (about 6.
