Summary

Irregular satellites of giant planets. Plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.

Main graph

Satellites

Jupiter (red)
Saturn (yellow)
Uranus (green)
Neptune (blue)

The position of a satellite represents

its orbit’s semi-major axis a as a fraction of the planet's Hill sphere's radius
orbit’s inclination i in degrees (vertical axis).
the size of the circle illustrates the satellites's size relative to others

Satellites beneath the axis (i>90) are retrograde.

Data source

Based on the data collected by David Jewitt (July 2006).
