Carme is one of the many moons of Jupiter. It was discovered in 1903 by the astronomer Henrietta Leavitt and has been classified as a member of the Carme group of irregular satellites, which are characterized by their distant orbits and retrograde motion (they orbit in the opposite direction to Jupiter's rotation). Carme is relatively large among Jupiter's moons, measuring about 46 kilometers (29 miles) in diameter.
