Hello again,

I would like to point your attention to a wonderful article recently published online by a friend of mine, Andrzej Karon (pronounced AND-ZHEY CAR-ON), who is an amateur astronomer from Poland. I guess it might be THE most concise and up to date article about planetary moons as well as asteroidal moons, including the most recent developments in the subject and entirely translated into English smile.gif Please take a look:

Andrzej also made a wonderful animation of asteroid Sylvia which has 2 moons just like Mars. It can be found here:

Regards,

Karol P.

Or call everything up to Janus "classical moons" and everything that was discovered after Janus gets a telephone-number name smile.gif Anyway, they ARE running out of names... The names for newly discovered moons are getting ever more weird.
