Document Summary
Satellites the gas giants have many moons or satellites most were discovered telescopically from galileo to the present many more small moons were discovered by voyager 1 and. Regular satellites moons on nearly circular orbits close into the planet rotate in the same sense as the planet orbits lie near the equator all large satellites are regular except for triton. Irregular satellites far out from planet on eccentric and inclined orbits some are on retrograde (backwards) orbits e. g. triton, Europa nearest large moon to jupiter - similar to moon in size and mass volcanically active! Voyagers witnessed eruptions - galileo mission too red"s and browns from sulphur. Europa prevents it from settling into a circular orbit. 4 m o c s s a l c e n o t a s e c r u o s e r e r o m d n i f.
