at one point we have to realize theres an infinite number of small rocks orbiting any given planet
Why you gotta be so mean to my itty bitty moon brothers and sisters?
The itty bitty satellite committee
Does Earth also have such small orbiting rocks that are a few kilometers wide?
No, we only have one moon. I think the gravity of the moon is too large for other moons to be in a stable orbit around Earth.
i wonder if something that size would even have noticable gravity
They really need to change the name to Urectum to end the jokes about how to pronounce it
Agreed, but knowing scientists that’ll probably take at least 596 years to achieve.
Tbh no other language but English has the same problem. In some languages it is simply ‘Uran’, and it does not mean anything but Uran.
Urasshole
That’s no moon that’s a space station.
