...and the mini-moon has a micro moon and so on infinitum.

Mini-Moon aime le chocolat.
Scotty, n'est pas.

[sten]

to attract another object, it must have some dense mass

wonder what it’s made of (and i’m real glad it missed)

[BenLurkin]

Of possible interest

I don’t like the looks of that mini moon’s orbit...

Cute little fella.

So it turns out that lots of asteroids have mini-moons. To me, it seems strange that a smallish object like an asteroid would have enough gravity to keep a moon in its orbit. Then again, I never took astrophysics!

“That’s no Moon.......”

[mikrofon]

Just a chip off the ol’ block ....

[blueplum]

does it have a man in its moon, too?

[The Cajun]

Kind of roundish for a run of the mill asteroid.

[a fool in paradise]

Don’t look, Ethyl... but it was too late...

[uglybiker]

A Mini Moon! Yes! That's what I need!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

It’s snowing in DC. What asteroid?

On second thought, this is DC so we have many Hemorrhoids instead. I can see them from my window. They are called Democrats and politicians.

Modern physics (qm gr) is all the rage, but good old classical mechanics has a certain beauty and simplicity that just can’t be beat.

?zer0’s brain?

Wait there is Mass to it so that blows that theory...

[Robert A Cook PE]

I’m going to wait until that glint of light has made at least one orbit.

Looks like it though.
