Yes, I knew that the moons of Mars weren’t spherical, its just odd.

Our moon qualifies as a dwarf planet if considered alone and it is a very large ratio in size, so why would the Earth-Luna relationship not be considered a twin-planet system? Or perhaps it is. And yet, the if the Earth were orbiting Jupiter, it would be much, much smaller by comparison to Jupiter than our moon is to us.

Maybe non-spherical moons should be called dwarf moons.

Our Moon is made up of the same materials as Earth. According to astrophysicists, it was born from ejecta from a collision with Earth and a large asteroid when Earth was still in a molten or semi molten state............................
