Eukelade is a small moon of Jupiter that orbits backward relative to the planet's rotation, discovered in 2003 by astronomers at the University of Hawaiʻi. It matters because studying such irregular satellites helps scientists understand Jupiter's complex moon system and the history of collisions and gravitational interactions in the early solar system.
