Jupiter has 63 known moons, and more are discovered with every space probe we send there. It is likely that there are more not yet identified. The most recent are extremely small. As with the icy moonlets in Saturn's rings, there are millions of small objects orbiting the planet, some as part of Jupiter's own rings. As of 2009, Jupiter had 63 satellites known and classified as moons. They are as follows (alphabetically, the four largest in boldface):
- Adrastea

Its name in Latin, however, is Luna.
