Himalia ( or ; (ギリシア語:‘Ιμαλíα)) is the largest irregular satellite of Jupiter, the sixth largest overall in size, and only the four Galilean moons of Jupiter have greater mass. It was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at the Lick Observatory on 3 December 1904〔 and is named after the nymph Himalia, who bore three sons of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of Jupiter). It is one of the largest planetary moons in the Solar System not imaged in detail, and the largest not including the moons of Neptune. == Discovery == Himalia was discovered by Charles Dillon Perrine at the Lick Observatory on 3 December 1904.〔 ; ; ; 〕 Himalia is Jupiter's most easily observed small satellite; though Amalthea is brighter, its proximity to the planet's brilliant disk makes it a far more difficult object to view.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Himalia, Jupiter's "fifth" moon )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Himalia (moon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
