It was discovered by Christian Veillet in 2010.[2][3] It received its permanent number in March 2015.[4] It takes 1.69 years to orbit around Jupiter, and its average distance is 21.01 million km. Jupiter LII has a diameter of about 1 kilometer and in 2010 it was labeled the smallest known moon in the Solar System to have been discovered from Earth.[5] It is a member of the Ananke group.
