Adrastea was discovered by [[David Jewitt|David C. Jewitt]] and [[G. Edward Danielson]] in ''[[Voyager 2|Voyager&nbsp;2]]'' probe photographs taken on July 8, 1979, and received the designation '''{{nowrap|S/1979&nbsp;J&nbsp;1}}'''.{{sfn|IAUC 3454}}{{sfn|Jewitt Danielson et al.|1979}} Although it appeared only as a dot,{{sfn|Jewitt Danielson et al.|1979}} it was the first moon to be discovered by an interplanetary spacecraft. Soon after its discovery, two other of the inner [[moons of Jupiter]] ([[Thebe (moon)|Thebe]] and [[Metis (moon)|Metis]]) were observed in the images taken a few months earlier by ''[[Voyager 1|Voyager&nbsp;1]]''. The [[Galileo spacecraft|''Galileo'' spacecraft]] was able to determine the moon's shape in 1998, but the images remain poor.{{sfn|Thomas Burns et al.|1998}} In 1983, Adrastea was officially named after the Greek nymph [[Adrastea (mythology)|Adrastea]], the daughter of [[Zeus]] and his lover [[Ananke (mythology)|Ananke]].{{sfn|IAUC 3872}}

Although the ''[[Juno (spacecraft)|Juno]]'' orbiter, which arrived at Jupiter in 2016, has a camera called [[JunoCam]], it is almost entirely focused on observations of Jupiter itself. However, if all goes well, it should be able to capture some limited images of the moons [[Metis (moon)|Metis]] and Adrastea.<ref>[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015AGUFM.P41B2066H JunoCam: Science and Outreach Opportunities with Juno<!-- Bot generated title -->] Hansen, C.
