Four unique objects.
A frozen waterworld, a geologically hyper active oddball, a giant moon that dwarfs even small planets and a heavily cratered dark sphere.
These four objects perform a gravitational dance so brisk around its parent planet that its motion can be compared to the hands of a clock. It´s like a miniature solar system played back very fast.
In just one night they can dazzle the observer by configuring an orchestrated ever changing orbit pattern around Jupiter that never repeats itself.
