contents <p><span lang="EN-US">Sinope is one of Jupiter’s distant retrograde irregular satellites and a prominent member of the Pasiphae group. Discovered in 1914, Sinope’s highly inclined and eccentric orbit strongly indicates a captured origin. Its low albedo, red-sloped spectrum, and carbonaceous composition suggest that Sinope may be a remnant of a primitive outer Solar System body. As one of the most massive moons in the Pasiphae group, Sinope is essential for reconstructing collisional histories and understanding irregular satellite dynamical evolution. This paper synthesizes available scientific knowledge on Sinope’s physical properties, surface composition, orbital behavior, and evolutionary significance within the Jovian system.</span></p>
