Moons of Jupiter<\/b>
The planet Jupiter has 67 confirmed moons. This gives it the largest retinue of moons with \u201creasonably secure\u201d orbits of any planet in the Solar System. In fact, Jupiter and its moons are like a miniature solar system with the inner moons orbiting faster than the others.<\/p>\n

Eight of Jupiter\u2019s moons are regular satellites, with prograde and nearly circular orbits that are not greatly inclined with respect to Jupiter\u2019s equatorial plane. The remainder of Jupiter\u2019s moons are irregular satellites, whose prograde and retrograde orbits are much farther from Jupiter and have high inclinations and eccentricities. These moons were probably captured by Jupiter from solar orbits. There are 17 recently discovered irregular satellites that have not yet been named.<\/p>\n
