The '''Ananke | |||
The '''Ananke Group''' is a collection of 17 cataloged satellites in an irregular retrograde orbit around [[Jupiter]], ranging in diameter from 28km for the largest body, Ananke, to approximately 2km for the smallest known body, Euporie. | |||

In addition to those named above, there are thousands of bodies within the group that are too small to detect, ranging from a few inches to 1.2 km in diameter. Astronomers believe the group was formed when an asteroid was captured by Jupiter's immense gravitational field and fragmented due to a collision with another body. The fact that all of the objects cataloged thus far within the group have similar orbital eccentricities, inclinations and semi-major axes further supports this hypothesis. | |||
