S/2003 J 10 is a provisional designation for a small natural satellite of Jupiter, announced in 2003 following a ground-based survey for faint moons around the planet. Like most of Jupiter's recently discovered moons, it is probably an irregular satellite, a small and distant body on a tilted, elongated orbit that was likely captured long ago. Such moons are generally thought to be fragments of larger objects broken up by collisions. It is known only from telescopic measurements of its motion, so little else can be said about it with certainty.
