Dia

Dia, designated as Jupiter LIII, is a small irregular satellite of Jupiter that is in the Himalia Group. Similarly to most moons of Jupiter discovered past 2000, not much is really known about it, and the moon itself is fairly small with an estimated diameter of 2.5 miles.
==Discovery==
Dia was discovered after Scott S. Sheppard and a team of astronomers in the year 2000, which lasted for 26 days. However, no trace of Dia was found 12 years after its discovery before it was rediscovered on September 11, 2012. It was later given its name 3 years later in 2015 by the IAU.
==Appearance & Size==
No images exist of Dia’s surface, but it may look similar to other objects within the Himalia Group, referencing off images of Himalia and Elara. Assuming most moons in the group are very small, Dia is no exception to this, being only around 2.5 miles in diameter, making it the 4th smallest moon in the group, only after Pandia, S/2011 J 3, and S/2018 J 2.
==Orbit==
Dia is the farthest away moon from Jupiter that’s within the Himalia group, with a semi-major axis of around 7.5 million miles. Its orbit is inclined to 28.23°, and has an eccentricity of 0.211, making it inclined and eccentric like most of Jupiter’s other moons. This additionally makes it the 18th closest moon to Jupiter.
