Video makes it look as if our Moon kind of drags it along...

Here's a fun website to play with. You can build yoour own solar system, or put one planet or dozens in orbit around a primary of your choice....big or small.

Try placing a huge sun in the middle, then put a large planet in a circular orbit (that's a tough one) and then try to put a moon in orbit around your planet (even tougher). It's addictive.

I have had a very small (white) planet circling a large star since 10:00am Tuesday of this week. It still hasn't completed a full circle around it but it appears to be about 12 hours from doing so.

Here is a screen shot:
