S/2018 J 2

S/2018 J 2 is a very small outer irregular moon of Jupiter in the Himalia Group. It’s the most recently discovered natural satellite in its group, only being discovered in May of 2018. Very little is known about it due to how recently discovered it was.
==Discovery==
S/2018 J 2 was discovered when Scott S. Sheppard was using the 13.1-foot Víctor M. Blanco telescope in Chile. It was discovered on May 12, 2018. Despite being discovered in 2018, it wasn’t until December of 2022 Walter various observations were made to confirm the satellite’s orbit and existence. It was announced along with S/2011 J 3.
==Appearance & Size==
It’s not known what S/2018 J 2 looks like, but it may look similar to other Himalia group moons, and may be light gray and color. Not much else can be inferred about its appearance due to a lack of information about it. S/2018 J 2 is estimated to be 1.86 miles in diameter, making it amongst the smallest moons in the Himalia Group.
==Orbit==
The semi-major axis of S/2018 J 2 is 7.1 million miles, and it has an orbit eccentricity of 0.11841. It also has an inclination of 28.6592°. This makes its orbit similar to other Himalia Group moons, and it also takes 250.88 days to finish an orbit. This makes it the overall 12th closest moon to Jupiter.
