And what I did was to analyze the online images from the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope on route 2 in February 2003 by researchers from the University of Hawaii and in those images they found that there was something that astronomers had missed, it was this a new moon that is believed to be part of the Carmé family or group made up of 22 other small moons that orbit Jupiter about 23 to 24 million kilometers away.

It is believed that all of them are the product of the collision of an asteroid or comet with the moon Carmé, which is about 47 kilometers in diameter, in the note it does not indicate the size of the new moon but the moons of the group vary between 1 to 5 kilometers in diameter so the new moon if it has not been discovered so far is that it must have something less than a kilometer.
