Sounds more like an asteroid belt.
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff."

Saturn isn’t as lonely as I thought he was…
A somewhat cleaner definition is that a moon orbits a planet, while an asteroid is a body smaller than a planet that orbits the Sun. Of course, then you still have to differentiate between an asteroid and a comet, and then when it comes to comets, some have been known to orbit planets, at least for a while...
Is a moon that gets pulled down into its “parent” planet a meteorite?
Uranus?
You cracked the code!
I don’t know what you mean by 2^6 and 2^7.
C’mon, lighten up, Francis. It’s all in the semantics. Saturn has trillions of moons in the generic sense.
2^6 is 2 to the 6th power, or 2 multiplied by itself 6 times, equal to 64.
2^7 = 2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 128, the number of moons discovered in the article.
Its all relative.
Thanks. It has been decades since my last math class, and anyway I think that would be shown as a superscript in a textbook...typing online requires different conventions.
I read a bit of Velikovsky a long time ago...had a great imagination but a lot of his ideas must be taken with a grain of salt. I think he claims somewhere that a comet turned into the planet Venus.
You’re welcome.
The one trick I knew to make a superscript didn’t work here. Oh, well.

2^7 is 128.
It just seemed odd to me that both counts were powers of 2. Will the next find be 256?
It looks like there has been a conspiracy by Dualists that the rest of us have been blissfully unaware of.
