Scientific paper

A large number of ice fragments appeared deep within Jupiter's sphere of action as a result of explosions of the electrolyzed ice envelopes of the Galilean satellites; the satellites' gravitational perturbations then transferred these fragments from satellite orbits into the periphery of the sphere of action, and beyond. Upon reaching the periphery of the sphere, the fragments may acquire retrograde motion, even in the sidereal frame, due to the sun's influence. Alternatively, the ejection of the fragments from the Galilean satellite zone with sufficient velocity may allow them to leave Jupiter's sphere of action, leading to a substantially different pattern of motion in the vicinity of Jupiter's orbit.
