Orthosie is a small moon that orbits Jupiter, one of many celestial bodies in the giant planet's system. While it is too distant and tiny to observe without a telescope, studying moons like Orthosie helps astronomers understand how planetary systems form and evolve.

Encyclopedic overview
Orthosie /ɔːrˈθoʊziː/, also known as Jupiter XXXV, is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2001, and given the temporary designation S/2001 J 9.
Orthosie is about 2 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 21,075,662 km in 625.07 days, at an inclination of 146.46° to the ecliptic (143° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.3376.
