It orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 20,465,000 [[kilometer|km]] in 598.093 days. This orbit is at an [[inclination]] of 143° to the [[ecliptic]] (142° to Jupiter's equator) with an [[orbital eccentricity]] of 0.2001. It was named in August 2003 after [[Euanthe]], who was the mother of the [[Charites|Graces]], according to some [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] writers.<ref>[http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iauc/08100/08177.html IAUC 8177: ''Satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus''] [[2003]] [[August 8]] (naming the moon)</ref> Euanthe is in the [[Ananke group]], retrograde non-spherical moons which orbit Jupiter between 19,300,000 and 22,700,000&nbsp;km, at inclinations of about 150°. == References == {{reflist}} {{Moons of Jupiter}} {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Jupiter's moons]]
