[edit] Discovery
So was this discoverd by S synnot or voyager1?
- Voyager did take the photo, but it was the human who noted that what the photo showed was a moon. andy
Jupiter's four first discovered moons were Io, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. Thebe could hardly be fourth. And I had thought that Thebe was a moon of Saturn...although I could be wrong on that point.
- Fourth means not by discovery date, but by distance from the planet. Seems like the article needs a little clarification on this point. (Done) andy
[edit] adj.
The name is just the Greek form of 'Thebes' (Homeric poetic form of Thêbai), so the standard Latin adjectival form Theban is appropriate. kwami 2005 June 30 00:07 (UTC)
