Jupiter LII, originally known as S/2010 J 2, is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by Christian Veillet in 2010.[2] It received its permanent number in March 2015.[3] It takes 1.69 years to orbit around Jupiter, and its average distance is 21.01 million km. Jupiter LII has a diameter of about 1 kilometer and in 2010 it was labeled the smallest known moon in the Solar System to have been discovered from Earth.[4] It is a member of the Ananke group. With an estimated diameter of 1 km (0.62 mi), Jupiter LII is one of the smallest known moons of Jupiter.[1]
