By: Sand, Charlene

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

This book provides an extensive overview of the regular satellites of Jupiter, which are split into two groups: the Inner and Galilean moons. The Inner satellites, or Amalthea group, orbit very close to Jupiter. The Galilean moons are four massive satellites, and are some of the largest objects in the Solar System outside the Sun and the eight planets in terms of mass. Read more about Jupiter's regular satellites, including Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, and much more.
