Thebe

Thebe (/ˈθiːbiː/ thee-bee; Greek: Θήβη) also known as Jupiter XIV, is the fourth of Jupiter's moons by distance from the planet. It was discovered by Stephen P. Synnott in images from the Voyager 1 space probe taken on March 5, 1979, while making its flyby of Jupiter.In 1983 it was officially named after the mythological nymph Thebe.

The second largest of the inner satellites of Jupiter, Thebe orbits within the outer edge of the Thebe gossamer ring that is formed from dust ejected from its surface. It is irregularly shaped and reddish in colour, like Amalthea to consist of porous water ice with  amounts of other materials. Its surface features include large craters and high mountains—some of them are comparable to the size of the moon itself.

The largest (diameter about 40 km) crater is situated on the side that faces away from Jupiter, and is called Zethus .

Man first set foot on Thebe during the Greater Solar System Survey Project in 2112 OTT. One of the project missions was the Jupiter Moon Survey of 2112 - 2114. Commander Linda Prokov set foot on Thebe on September 2112. But her visit was only brief, she took a few samples and the crew of the survey ship mapped and made detailed measurements.

First permanent visitors arrived in 2193. The company Carhill sponsored an experimental farm. To see if it is possible to utilize the water from the moon, and the minerals to operate a farm under a dome and light collection mirror.

The test farm grew into a community and Zethus City was founded.

The moon is still the site for test farms and the Union wide famous Astro-Agri Institute. Still researching plants and methods how to grow food plants in space and places like asteroids and moons. Countless methods and tools have been developed.
