"Jupiter's tally of moons has gone up by two, after researchers
published their observations of two previously unknown Jovian satellites. The romantically-named S/2010 J 1 and S/2010 J 2 are both tiny. The former is just three kilometres across. The latter is even smaller, boasting a diameter of just two kilometres. That small dimension is nonetheless noteworthy, as it means the discovering scientists from the University of British Columbia have claimed the crown for spotting the smallest moon so far observed from Earth."
