@sundogplanets I thought it had a trillion or so moons, the size of dust particles up to 10 meters or so.
@pieist Yeah, soon the IAU will have to step in with a definition and some of these moons will get demoted to dwarf moons or something hahaha

Speaking of which, I do think that the solar system is nice and elegant again post that decision...
Four small rocky worlds, one asteroid belt, four gas giants. How tidy can you get? Tacking a wonky Kuiper Belt object onto the end just threw off the balance, and then you've got to let them all in, bad orbital manners, chilly interstellar ways and all
