S/2021 J 6

S/2021 J 6 is the designation given to a natural satellite, or moon, of Jupiter. It was officially discovered in 2021 and is one of several irregular moons orbiting the giant planet. This particular moon was identified as part of a group of similar moons that orbit at significant distances from Jupiter and have relatively eccentric and inclined orbits. These types of moons are believed to have been captured by Jupiter's gravity rather than having formed in place.
