Notes: (#) = 1020kg. Several recently discovered Jovian moons had been given temporary numbers but the I.A.U has now assigned names to them as follows... XVIII = S/1975 J1 = Themisto XV = S/1979 J1 = Adrastea XIV = S/1979 J2 = Thebe XVI = S/1979 J3 = Metis XVII = S/1999 J1 = Callirrhoe XXIII = S/2000 J2 = Kalyke XXIV = S/2000 J3 = Iocaste XXV = S/2000 J4 = Erinome XXII = S/2000 J5 = Harpalyke XXVI = S/2000 J6 = Isonoe XXVII = S/2000 J7 = Praxidike XIX = S/2000 J8 = Megaclite XX = S/2000 J9 = Taygete XXI = S/2000 J10 = Chaldene XXVIII = S/2001 J1 = Autonoe XXIX = S/2001 J2 = Thyone XXX = S/2001 J3 = Hermippe XXXII = S/2001 J4 = Eurydome XXXVI = S/2001 J5 = Sponde XXXVIII = S/2001 J6 = Pasithee XXXIII = S/2001 J7 = Euanthe XXXVII = S/2001 J8 = Kale XXXV = S/2001 J9 = Orthosie XXXIV = S/2001 J10 = Eupore XXXI = S/2001 J11 = Aitne. Themisto (S/1975 J1) was also listed as S/2000 J1. Even more satellites (22 in all) were added to the account recently, again these have been added to the above tables according to their distance from Jupiter, again they are unnamed. They are S/2002 J1, and S/2003 J1 to S/2003 J21 Source: Derek Haselden's Astronomical Charts & Tables
