Does your suggested answer really fit the question?jdaw1 wrote:Jupiter has lots. Mars and Neptune have some, Earth has at least one, and even some of Saturn’s moons have them. What are they?
We're clutching at straws here; Planety-moon-moom dwarfs?DRT wrote:Minor-planet moons?
Yes. Each of the planets mentioned have moons, some of which are small enough to be termed minor planets. Some of those minor planets have tiny moons orbiting them.jdaw1 wrote:DRT wrote:Minor-planet moons?Does your suggested answer really fit the question?jdaw1 wrote:Jupiter has lots.

Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?LGTrotter wrote:A splitter.
Need help from teach here. It will still be a few tens of tons?jdaw1 wrote:‟Moonlets”, said an answer. And indeed these things are always very small relative to the thing that has them. So Earth’s one known one of these has a mass a bit less than a forty-billionth the mass of the Earth.

I’ll say it again, to help those not expert at spotting clues: ‟orbits ! stable”.jdaw1 wrote:Though wrong, this is an excellent guess. None of Saturn’s moons have sub-moons: those orbits would not be stable.DRT wrote:Moonlets?
Presumably the next ‘big thing’ for those who missed the Bitcoin bubble?LGTrotter wrote:forty billion

Actually, there are theoretical reasons why there might not be any for Saturn, not even baby-sized. (The technical literature starts to become, well, technical, so I have somewhat simplified. But anyway, as Saturn has lots of moons and possibly none of these, whatever these are, moons isn’t it.)jdaw1 wrote:Re-read the question. Jupiter has lots of these. None were mentioned for Saturn, and plausible sources don’t mention any for Saturn though it is possible that there are, undetected, very very small ones. But some of Saturn’s moons are known to have them.
Whoopee!LGTrotter wrote:Trojan moons?
Thank you. I particularly enjoyed the Simpsons clue, as I knew it wouldn’t help until you had the answer.DRT wrote:Good question.
I still don't get the simpsons clue.jdaw1 wrote:Thank you. I particularly enjoyed the Simpsons clue, as I knew it wouldn’t help until you had the answer.DRT wrote:Good question.
Neither do I. It might as well have come from Daniel.LGTrotter wrote:I still don't get the simpsons clue.
Who is to write to The Times about this mis-capitalisation?LGTrotter wrote:the simpsons clue.
Look on the bright side Derek, you could put a question and I would give one answer then we could all go to bed like we should. And I wouldn't have to find another bottle.DRT wrote:Neither do I. It might as well have come from Daniel.LGTrotter wrote:I still don't get the simpsons clue.
Now you're back I shall have to find something else.jdaw1 wrote:Homer Simpson? Trojans?Who is to write to The Times about this mis-capitalisation?LGTrotter wrote:the simpsons clue.

Daniel just sent me a clue to give you a chance of getting this in one guess: "Mist rolls in as the jackal take his penultimate breath".
