Kale Template:IPAc-en, also known as Template:Nowrap, is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered in 2001 by astronomers Scott S. Sheppard, D. Jewitt, and J. Kleyna, and was originally designated as Template:Nowrap.<ref>IAUC 7900: Satellites of Jupiter 2002 May (discovery)</ref><ref name="MPEC-2002-J54">MPEC 2002-J54: Eleven New Satellites of Jupiter 2002 May (discovery and ephemeris)</ref>
Kale is about Template:Convert in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of Template:Convert in 736.55 days, at an inclination of 165° to the ecliptic (166° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an orbital eccentricity of 0.2011.
It was named in August 2003<ref>IAUC 8177: Satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus Template:Webarchive 2003 August (naming the moon)</ref> after Kale, one of the Charites (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, 'Graces'), daughters of Zeus (Jupiter). Kale is the spouse of Hephaestus according to some authors (although most have Aphrodite play that role).
It belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between Template:Convert and at an inclination of about 165°.
