| contents | <p><span lang="EN-US">Amalthea, one of Jupiter’s innermost moons, presents a uniquely revealing target for planetary science. Its anomalously low density, irregular morphology, complex orbital interactions, and role as both dust source and radiation probe within Jupiter's extreme inner magnetosphere offer critical insights into small-body evolution in high-energy environments. This expanded paper synthesizes spacecraft and ground-based observations from Voyager, Galileo, and Juno, integrating modern thermal, dynamical, and compositional analyses. We highlight unresolved questions—particularly concerning porosity distribution, internal structure, and dust production—and outline priorities for future missions.</span></p> |
