2 new moons discovered around Jupiter. Last September, two satellites – the smallest ever discovered – were found orbiting Jupiter.

 That brings the number of Jovian moons to a whopping 66.  The moons – each about 1 km in size – are very distant from Jupiter. It takes the tiny satellites 580 and 726 days to orbit the gas giant.
