[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 77640715, member: 234799"] This is an informative post, yet it has produced no responses (other than this one). Perhaps its too non-controversial. The increase in detected satellites of the outer planets, as a result of improvements in technology and greater commitment of resources, fascinates me. There is such a contrast between moons like Ganymede, Triton, Titania, or Titan and the chunks of rock that we are now able to detect. Is there a case to formally distinguish between moons that have reached approximate sphericity and the rest? Moons and moonlets? The only downside I can see is that AV would see it as a sub-set of the same conspiracy that demoted Pluto to a dwarf planet. :) [/QUOTE]
