S/2011 J 3

S/2011 J 3 is a small outer moon of Jupiter located within the Himalia Group. It was discovered by Scott S. Sheppard in 2011, but its discovery was not announced until over 11 years later.
==Discovery==
S/2011 J 3 was first discovered by Scott S. Sheppard in September 27, 2011 using the Magellan-Baade Telescope in Chile. However, its discovery was not confirmed and announced until December of 2022 due to the fact it took a long time to analyze and study if it actually existed or not.
==Appearance & Size==
As there are currently no known images of S/2011 J 3, it can only be assumed what the satellite may look like. It might have a similar appearance to the rest of the Himalia Group, as most moons in that group of moons look similar.
The diameter of S/2011 J 3 is estimated to be 1.9 miles, making it one of the smallest members of the Himalia Group, along with S/2018 J 2.
==Orbit==
S/2011 J 3 orbits Jupiter at a distance of around 7.3 million miles, and takes 261.77 earth days to complete one orbit. It’s the overall 17th closest moon to Jupiter, and shares a similar orbit to other moons in the Himalia Group.
