Sinope is the sixteenth of Jupiter's known satellites. Unlike the inner
satellites, the orbits of Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, and Sinope are radically
inclined to Jupiter's equator (about 155 degrees). Like the first four outer
satellites (Leda, Himalia, Lysithea and Elara) these four satellites may also
be the remnants of an asteroid that was captured by Jupiter and broken up.
