An in teresting feature of that moon is that being the in nermost ''irregular'' satellite of Jupiter (in a higly inclined elliptical orbit), it revolves in the same direction as the planet is spinning on its axis. Due to its similarity in semimajor axis to some of the other satellites of Jupiter, it is considered to be a member of a so called Himalia (probably the remnants of a single large body). It is in teresting to note that it remains the only one of the eleven moons discovered in 2000 that has not yet been given a name while the →IAU has already named even those discovered in 2001! And so far giving names to Jupiter's satellites has proven not to be very difficult due to Zeus' notorious adultery – he was cheating on Hera with countless lovers :)

    The orbital period is over 2/3 earthly year, which means that the average speed of its celestial motion is only 1°15'16'' per day. When this motion was detected and compared to the changes in Jupiter's position, this body was classified as a true planetary satellite (and not a distant celestial body with its position projected near the planet).
    Other obstacle in detecting this moon earlier was its brightness of only 22.4^m (over 3.6 million times fainter than the faintest stars visible to naked eye). For comparison: Jupiter's brightness is about –2.7^m, so S/2000 J11 is shining fainter by about 25.1^m. The corresponding difference in brightness is almost 11 billion times!
