Hello Jarmo and List,

As of 1996, there were 16 Jovian satellites altogether:

Io - Europa - Ganemede - Callisto - Amalthea - Himalia - Elara -
Pasiphae - Sinope - Lysithea - Carme - Ananke - Leda - Thebe - Adrastea
- Metis

Pasiphae, Sinope, Carme and Ananke are in retrograde orbits.

Best regards,

Bernd
