There’s supposedly a second moon of Earth, too. Recent reports have it that there’s a small asteroid-sized object at such a distance from here that originally it was thought to be in the earth’s orbit around the sun. But astronomers have figured out that this thing orbits us as we orbit the sun; and its orbit is millions of miles from here as opposed to our moon’s roughly 240,000 miles.

Actually, Pluto has 5 moons, not 4: Charon, Nix, Hydra, Styx, and Kerberos.

Then there are Mercury and Venus; no moons, poor things. Whatever do their inhabitants rhyme with June?

Having multiple moons is nice, but Kepler-16b orbits two stars. Two suns are better than 100 moons.

Actually, our Moon, being larger than Pluto, should be classified as a “dwarf planet”.
