Thelxinoe (moon)

Thelxinoe is one of the natural satellites of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2001 and is part of a group of moons that are known as the Carme group, which are irregularly shaped and have somewhat retrograde orbits. Thelxinoe is relatively small, with an estimated diameter of about 26 kilometers (16 miles). The moon is named after a figure from Greek mythology, specifically one of the Oceanids, who are the nymphs of the sea.
