University of Hawaii astronomers (yeah, that’s a tough gig) have announced the discovery of eight new satellites of Jupiter. That brings the total known number of Moons of Jupiter to 48. That’s insane. Go to the article, it has the most “insane graphic”:http://www.astrobio.net/articles/images/orbitsall.jpg showing the orbits of these satellites.
