Euanthe

 

Euanthe is one of Jupiter's many moons. It is a relatively small moon and was discovered in 2001 as part of a series of discoveries of Jupiter's outer moons by a team of astronomers led by Scott S. Sheppard.

Here are some key details about Euanthe:

1. Size and Characteristics: Euanthe is considered a small moon with an estimated diameter of about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles). This makes it one of the smaller objects in Jupiter's extensive moon system.

2. Orbital Properties: Euanthe orbits Jupiter at a significant distance from the planet. Its average orbital distance from Jupiter is approximately 21.2 million kilometers (about 13.2 million miles), and it takes roughly 610 Earth days to complete one orbit around Jupiter.

3. Group Association: Euanthe belongs to the Ananke group, which is a group of small moons that share similar orbital characteristics. These moons are believed to be remnants of a larger object that was captured by Jupiter's gravitational influence.

4. Name Origin: As is common with Jupiter's moons, Euanthe is named after a figure from Greek mythology. Euanthe was one of the Graces, known for their beauty and elegance.

Please note that our knowledge of Jupiter's moons and other celestial objects continues to evolve with ongoing astronomical observations and research, so there may have been developments or new discoveries related to Euanthe.
