The planet Jupiter is the largest in our solar system, it has been monitored for many years by NASA with its spaceships, but despite all efforts, no impressive discovery could be made until now. Apart from the 79 moons that have been discovered for the planet Jupiter so far, an amateur astronomer recently discovered another one, bringing the total of its moons to 80, an impressive figure indeed.
The planet Jupiter has this impressive discovery at a time when no one thought that something could be hidden next to it, but we can always be impressed. It is interesting that this new moon near the planet Jupiter was discovered in images dating from 2003, yes you heard that right, they are 18 years old, but despite this, no one has managed to find this moon until now through them.
Planet Jupiter: Here's What Was HIDDEN For Many Decades
The planet Jupiter has had this moon in its orbit for a very long time, and the amateur astronomer who discovered it managed to find it including in images dating from 2018. This means that it has an orbit that carries it into the Jovian system and makes part of all the moons that orbit the planet Jupiter, but why even NASA has not noticed it until now seems very difficult to understand, but it is likely that from now on it will be monitored more closely.
"I am proud to say that this is the first planetary moon discovered by an amateur astronomer! But otherwise, "he's just a typical member of the retrograde Carme group." This group includes 22 other small moons that orbit Jupiter in the opposite direction of its rotation, with periods of about two years. Their orbits are similar enough to suggest that they were all fragments of a single impact. They are probably chips from Carme, the first group discovered and 45 kilometers away, by far the largest.”
The planet Jupiter has a group of 22 moons, or 23 now, which orbit it with a direction of rotation opposite to its own and a period of completion of the orbit of 2 years, the group being called Carme. It seems that this new moon is part of this group called Carmes, all of which are much smaller than other moons near the planet Jupiter and this is one of the reasons why it was discovered so late by researchers.
The planet Jupiter could also have other moons, or various cosmic objects orbiting it, so we will have to see what will be revealed to us in the coming years.
