caption_attribution_description: English: 2 minute exposure of Jupiter's moon Elara with a 24" telescope. Elara is apparent magnitude 16.8 in this image taken at 2009-10-21 03:00 UT. The glow at the bottom of the image is from Jupiter (which is not in the photo).
context_page_description: Elara is a non-spherical moon of Jupiter. It was found by Charles Dillon Perrine at Lick Observatory in 1905 and is named after the mother by Zeus of the giant Tityus.
  Elara did not get its present name until 1975; before then, it was simply known as Jupiter VII. It was sometimes called "Hera" between 1955 and 1975.
  Elara belongs to the Himalia group, five moons orbiting between 11,000,000 and 13,000,000 km from Jupiter at an inclination of about 27.5°. Its orbital elements are as of January 2000. They are changing a lot due to Solar and planetary perturbations.
