Moon of Jupiter
S/2003 J 10 is aretrograde irregular satellite ofJupiter . It was discovered by a team of astronomers from theUniversity of Hawaiʻi led byScott S. Sheppard et al. in 2003.[ 4] [ 1]
S/2003 J 10 is about 2 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 22,857,000 km in approximately 706 days, at aninclination of 163° to theecliptic , in aretrograde direction and with aneccentricity of 0.34.
It belongs to theCarme group .[ 3]
This moon was consideredlost [ 5] [ 6] until its recovery was announced on 12 October 2022.[ 2]
