Pasithea (/pɑː.ˈsɪ.θ.ə/) is the closest satellite to the moon Hemera, at just over 300 kilometers. Like its sibling subsatellite Mouros, Pasithea lacks any atmosphere, and its surface — though smoother — is equally riddled with mountainous ridges which rise from the surface at a shockingly steep rate. In some places, the crust has been ablated and the bright red mantle of the moon is exposed.

Nomenclature

From Greek mythology, Pasithea is one of the 50 daughters of the Old Man of the Sea Nereus and the Oceanid Doris, and who are sisters to their brother Nerites. They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and can be friendly and helpful to sailors.
