Autonoe (moon)

Autonoe, also known as Jupiter XXVIII, is a retrograde irregular-shaped satellite belonging to the outer planet of Jupiter. Autonoe was discovered by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt and Jan T. Kleyna on December 10, 2001 at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii. This satellite belongs to the Pasiphae group, a group of retrograde irregular satellites. Autonoe orbits Jupiter in about 761 Earth days around Jupiter 
==Formation==
Autonoe was formed from the creation of the Pasiphae group. When a C-type asteroid from the Asteroid belt was pulled in by Jupiter's gravitational pull, it suffered only one collision. This collision shot debris into space and it became the Pasiphae group, with Pasiphae being the largest of the group.
==Surface color: green ==
color: green 
shape: round 
craters: white
The surface of Autonoe is possibly grey due to it being a part of the Pasiphae group, with Pasiphae being a very light grey. Autonoe's surface has never been viewed clearly, but shows signs of visible craters. The infrared spectrum shows mountainous areas and color spectra matching those of Sinope, a nearly black-grey satellite of the Pasiphae group.
==The Naming of Autonoe ==
Autonoe sometimes also reffered to as S/2001 J1 or Jupiter XXXVIII , this moon was, according to some sources, named after a character in Roman mythology. It is said that Autonoe was named after the Mother of Graces by Jupiter 9or Zeus on Greek mythology.)
