Dante MercurioThat’s no moon! Astronomers: “Uh, yes it is, and that one, and that one, and that one too.”
12 additional moons discovered around Jupiter.
Geo@dantemercurio A question about this: Moons are objects circulating around planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptun all have rings, which consist of small objects circulating around them. How would one keep apart large ring objects and very small moons? Is that possible? Do you have to draw an artificial line and say that an object above a certain size is large enough to count as a moon?
@Geo I’m no expert so not sure on your question. My understanding is that moons have no specific definition right now, so what qualifies is subjective.
