Ananke A retrograde satellite of Jupiter, 21 276 000 km from the planet; also known as Jupiter XII. Ananke orbits Jupiter in 629.8 days at an inclination of almost 149° to Jupiter's equator. It is 20 km in diameter, and was discovered in 1951 by the American astronomer Seth Barnes Nicholson (1891–1963). Ananke is the largest member of the so‐called Ananke retrograde irregular group of Jovian satellites which all have similar orbital eccentricity, inclination, and semimajor axis: Euporie, Orthosie, Euanthe, Thyone, Mneme, Harpalyke, Hermippe, Praxidike, Thelxinoe, and Iocaste.
