Wait. Whoa. I knew some planets had more then one moon, but I thought it was like 2 or 3.

You’re telling me Jupiter has 101 moons, and Saturn has 285 moons??? What the hell Earth??? You got ONE moon!!! Up your game!!! Saturn has 285 moons, and like 7 rings. That’s more than Jordan has!

Earth’s moon is the biggest, iirc.
Biggest relative to the planet it orbits. Total mass goes Ganymede -> Titan -> Callisto -> Io -> Earth’s moon
This is Charon AND Pluto erasure and I will NOT stand for it 😤
