The rings are composed of small particles ejected from its moons by meteorite impacts
The main ring is probably made of material from the satellites Adrastea and Metis; the moons Thebe and Amalthea probably produce the gossamer ring components of their namesakes. The origin of the outermost ring is uncertain because it is not associated with a known satellite and does not conform to this simple model.
