Particles in Jupiter's ring probably don’t stay there for long. Rings get resupplied by dust formed by micro \meteor on the 4 inner moons, which are very energetic because of Jupiter’s large gravitational field. Jupiter has 67 known satellites (a celestial body orbiting the earth or another planet). Jupiter has 4 large galilean moons plus many more smaller ones which some have not been named. Jupiter is gradually slowing down due to the tidal drag produced by the 4 galilean satellites. Lo , Europa and Ganymede are locked together in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance and their orbits evolve together. In a few years Callisto will be orbiting at exactly twice the period of Ganymede (8 times the period of Lo). Jupiter also has a red spot! It is a giant like hurricane storm that sat there for over 300 years. When the red spot is at its widest it has a 3 times the diameter of Earth. The Edges of the red spot Spin counter clockwise at about 225 miles per hour(360 kilometers per hour). The color of the storm is either brick red or slightly brown.

Although in the beginning of his writing Ovid implies that Callisto is in fact a victim and not at fault, as the tale progresses that stance seems to change into blaming Callisto for beings raped, this is amplified by both Juno and Diana blaming Callisto for the rape.
