How is there a picture from the year 2003 if the first observation dates from 2017?--McBayne (talk) 23:05, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

That is a precovery image—an image taken before discovery. Pandia was found in images dating back as early as 2003, which have been submitted to the Minor Planet Center and is awaiting publication. In the meantime, precoveries of other recently-discovered moons like Ersa and Jupiter LIV have been published by the Minor Planet Center in MPC 141872. Nrco0e (talk) 06:13, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
