Astronomers have pinned down details of Jupiter’s smallest known moon, a tiny space rock barely a mile across.

The moon, known as S/2010 J 2, was discovered in September 2010 along with a fellow shrimpy satellite called S/2010 J 1. S/2010 J 2 has a diameter of about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers), while S/2010 J 1 is about 1.8 miles (3 km) wide, researchers said. Their discovery brought the number of documentedJovian moons to 67.
