Description

Euanthe: (pronounced ew-an-thee) Named after Euanthe, who was the mother of the Graces, according to some Greek writers. Also known as Jupiter XXXIII, Euanthe is a member of the Ananke group, a family of Jovian satellites which have similar orbits and are therefore thought to have a common origin. The group probably began as an asteroid that was captured by Jupiter's gravity and then suffered a collision, which broke off a number of pieces. The largest remaining chunk was named "Ananke," and the smaller pieces became the other 15 moons in the Ananke group. All of the Ananke moons are retrograde, which means that they orbit Jupiter in the opposite direction from the planet's rotation. Their orbits are also eccentric (elliptical rather than circular) and rather highly inclined with respect to Jupiter's equatorial plane. All of these characteristics support the idea that the Ananke satellites began as a captured asteroid, rather than forming as part of the original Jupiter system. None of the Ananke members is massive enough to pull itself into a sphere, so they are probably all irregularly shaped. Euanthe has a mean radius of about 1.5 km (assuming an albedo of 0.04). At a mean distance of about 21.0 million km from Jupiter, it takes about 620 Earth days to complete one orbit.


Three stainless steel retaining rings and three stainless steel lock washers wire wrapped together using 28ga silver plated wire into a very intricate pendant. three peridot Swarovski crystal teardrops (9mm and 7mm) dangle top center, off to the side and a the very bottom and as a finishing touch two 11mm crysolite opal Swarovski crystal teardrops dangle at the bottom as well... These crystals are lovely, the peridot compliments the crysolite opal well which itself is such a lovely pastel shade of sea green perfect for summer!

Pendant Dimensions: 1 3/4 inches tall x 1 1/2 inches wide
