Moon Mnemonic"My Antic Attempts To Irritate Everyone Got Caught" Jupiter has 16 known moons, all of which are named for other figures in the mythology of Jupiter (You can read more about the names of the Galilean satellites, Jupiter's four largest moons online). In order of increasing distance from Jupiter, they are: Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Leda, Himalia, Lysithea, Elara, Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, Sinope Problem is, it's hard to remember all those names! Here's where you can help. We'd like to come up with a simple mnemonic
that will help people remember the order of Jupiter's moons--at least

sentence of this exercise is one attempt. How about: Can you come up with something that is easy to remember? FOR MORE MOON INFORMATION:
