Valetudo, also known as Jupiter LXII and originally known as S/2016 J 2, is a moon of Jupiter. It was discovered by Scott S. Sheppard and his team in data acquired by the 6.5-m Magellan-Baade telescope of the Las Campanas Observatory in 2016, but was not announced until 17 July 2018, via a Minor Planet Electronic Circular from the Minor Planet Center, which also reported the discovery of nine other Jupiter moons. Besides data from Las Campanas, the original announcement also referred to data acquired through the 8.1-m Gemini North telescope — of the Mauna Kea Observatories — as well as the 4.0-m reflector of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory.
