Jupiter Now Has 69 Moons

The planet Jupiter is a beast: Three-hundred-and-seventeen times the mass of the Earth, mostly made of metallic hydrogen, and at the center of an astonishing collective of orbiting natural bodies.

In fact, Jupiter's satellites form a shrunken version of a full planetary system: from the tightly bound larger Galilean moons (orbiting in their Laplacian mean-motion resonances, akin to places like TRAPPIST-1) to the remarkable array of smaller moonlets that encircle this world out to more than 30 million kilometers.

These bodies circle Jupiter in anywhere from about 7 hours to an astonishing 1,000 days.

Until recently the cataloged satellites totaled 67 in number. But only the innermost 15 of these orbit Jupiter in a prograde sense (in the direction of the planet's spin). The rest are retrograde, and are likely captured objects - other pieces of the solar system's solid inventory that strayed into Jupiter's gravitational grasp.

That population of outer moons is mostly small stuff, only a few are 20-60 kilometers in diameter, most are barely 1-2 kilometers in size, and increasingly difficult to spot.

Now astronomers Scott Sheppard, David Tholen, and Chadwick Trujillo have added two more; bringing Jupiter's moon count to 69.

number of jupiter moons has always been 69. it's a natural number of equilibrium. after violent sex it will settle down over eons of restive state to 69, much like coitus continuous - the soixante neuf sextisfaction of sinkies with the status quo.

Explain again to me later....I am busy 69ing right now.

That explains, why PAP white paper policies cum out with 6.9 mil population. Singapore is up for a big screw!
