Pasithee

Pasithee is one of Jupiter's irregular moons. It was discovered on December 6, 2001, by a team of astronomers led by Scott S. Sheppard. Pasithee is part of the Carme Group, a collection of irregular moons with similar orbital characteristics. Due to its small size and distant orbit around Jupiter, limited information is available about Pasithee's physical characteristics, composition, and surface features. It follows a retrograde, highly inclined orbit around Jupiter, moving in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation and at an angle to the plane of Jupiter's equator. Irregular moons like Pasithee are believed to have originated from captured asteroids or fragments resulting from collisions.
