Description
Jupiter approach.--------------
Here's a little fun fact for you: originally, they wanted to name Jupiter's moons after the many girl/boyfriends (Ganymede was actually a boy!) its mythical namesake had had, to great frustration of Zeus/Jupiter's wife, Hera/Juno (Juno is, not incidentally, the name of the new Jupiter explorer craft).
Sadly, Jupiter has sixty-three moons, and not even the supreme god had that many girlfriends (Zeus/Jupiter had about 13 of them).
