Euporie (moon)

Euporie (/[invalid input: 'icon']juːˈpɒr[invalid input: 'ɨ'].iː/ ew-PORR-ə-ee or /juːˈpɔːriː/ ew-POHR-ee; Greek: Ευπορία), also known as Jupiter XXXIV, is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2001, and given the temporary designation S/2001 J 10.^[1]^[2]

Euporie is about 2 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 19,088 Mm in 538.780 days, at an inclination of 145° to the ecliptic (145° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.0960^{[citation needed]}.

It was named in August 2003 after Euporie, a Greek goddess of abundance and one of the Horae in Greek mythology (and thus a daughter of Zeus).^[3]

It is the innermost member of the Ananke group, retrograde irregular moons which orbit Jupiter between 19.3 and 22.7 Gm, at inclinations of roughly 150°.
