One 10 kms in diameter.
At what size does it stop being considered a moon and start being considered space debris?
I find it rather ridiculous that pluto isn't a planet but this is a moon.
“dwarf moon” in 3… 2…
Saturn: laughs nervously
Apparently there is no established size requirement
Yeah I agree. Our moon is one of the largest in the solar system, and it feels like the moon count for the solar system is inflated due to some that are well pretty small.
Um…Pluto’s a planet!
