Why doesn't Earth have any comfy little nearby moons? That

>>8851056
because the big one disrupt the orbits of any small moons that we could get

Cuz it's yuge. Earth moon is so yuge. One of the biggest. It actually is the biggest relative to a planet's size in the entire solar system. It's a great moon.

>ugly asteroid looking bullshit
yeah not thanks, I'll our pretty white round moon any day

>implying pluto isn't a planet

>>8851083
Not part of the native solar system. That's we revoked its citizenship. Now we need to build a wall around Neptune's orbit to keep rogue planets out.

>>8851056
We have Earth Trojan as the closest thing.

Why doesn't the Earth-Moon system qualify as a binary system?

>>8851111
Because the center of mass of the system is within Earth

Earth does have a second moon, it's just rarely talked about.
Wtf... I thought if anyone knew this it would be you fuckers? Oh well, here you go.

Doesn't meet the "nearby" qualification of OP since Luna is defined as too far away

Little moons like Phobos are lame, they're just some rock that the planet picked up while it was walking its way through space and put up on its desk. Our moon is cool, it's like a tiny Earth that was birthed after a giant impact.

How is our moon lame compared to them?
If we had those moons we would only be able to see them as something that would look like bright stars at night

Luna is the coolest moon
comfy as fuck
much nicer than Mars

Yea theres no nice places to colonize here

If we had some small moons like mars does it would be nice

We have co-orbital bodies which are comfy too. Look up Cruithne (and say Hi)
