Image: Kalyke-Jewitt-CFHT-annotated

Description: Animation of three images of Jupiter's irregular moon Kalyke (S/2000 J 2), taken by David Jewitt using the 3.6-meter Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) on 10 December 2001. Each image was taken approximately 30 minutes apart, showing the moon's motion relative to the background stars and galaxies. The apparent magnitude of Kalyke is 22.4. The black spot on the bright star is an image artifact resulting from overexposed pixels. The raw image datasets used are 615271p, 615278p, and 615285p. For comparison, the star field in these images can be viewed at the CDS's Aladin star atlas.
