The planet Jupiter has 4 large moons that were likely formed within a disk of debris near the planet. Others are thought to be wandering asteroids that were captured by the giant planet's gravity.
As of 2011, there are a total of 67 known moons, some orbiting in the same direction as Jupiter spins (prograde) and some the opposite way (retrograde). Most of them are relatively small, with 3/4ths of them less than 5 km in diameter. Some are involved with the faint rings that surround Jupiter, which may be the broken pieces of other small moons.
