Description: These figures show discovery images of the new Jupiter satellite S/2003 J23 taken about 39 minutes apart on UT February 6, 2003 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The motion of the satellite clearly stands out compared to the steady state background of stars and galaxies. Jupiter is not in the field, but is about one degree to the Northwest of these images.
