Episode notes
The act of being small doesn't preclude having moons. It's just harder when you're that small and orbiting that close to the sun, cause then you have a gravitational tug of war. So below a certain size, stuff in the solar system looks like idaho potatoes. The rules are, are you big enough to be round and significant enough in your g senseless? And are you dominant enough in your orbit to have cleared it out? I don't see why not, except because the sun is alive with energy. Could we effectively be seen as all our planets as moons for the sun? We ain't finding that yet.
