HIT (sorta): Jupiter's Moons

[CTlipz01 <CTlipz01@AOL.COM>]

MY ORIGINAL REQUEST.....
Ok guys...make me look reallllllly good....
Who can name the 16 different moons for the planet, Jupiter? I  have found
four so far.
TIA...

     Within 11 minutes, I had my first response....within 20 mins I had
4...!!!!!!!!  I printed up copies of them, and brought them to the teacher who
had requested the info just to see her face (the young ladies who came with
the request hadn't even had time to leave, and I hadn't even finished loading
my browser to see what more I could find). There was a musical  assembly that
was at a break when I walked into the auditorium;  I walked up to the teacher,
handed the copies to her...she kissed me to the amazement of the hordes of
students, staff, and parents present.  Talk about making me look realllllly
good!!!!
     For those of you who have requested the answer and the location of where
to find this info here goes.....

From Christine in New Haven....the very first response
Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Leda,
Himalia, Lysithea, Elara, Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, Sinope.
