[edit] Summary

Irregular satellites of giant planets. Plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.

[edit] Main graph

Satellites

  • Jupiter (red)
  • Saturn (yellow)
  • Uranus (green)
  • Neptune (blue)

The position of a satellite represents

  • its orbit’s semi-major axis a as a fraction of the planet's Hill sphere's radius
  • orbit’s inclination i in degrees (vertical axis).
  • the size of the circle illustrates the satellites's size relative to others

Satellites beneath the axis (i>90) are retrograde.

[edit] Data source

Based on the data collected by David Jewitt (July 2006).
