Wait, Love Ur Space Knowledge, Now I Have A Moon Query. U Said Earth's Moon Is Proportionally The Hugest

wait, love ur space knowledge, now i have a moon query. u said earth's moon is proportionally the hugest but isn't charon like half the size of pluto? which i know is technically a dwarf planet but she's very dear to me so what's the deal with that? thank u

yeah Charon really isn't a moon proper because it's not actually orbiting Pluto, they're orbiting each other!

this means that Pluto and Charon are actually a paired system of orbiting bodies and not a standard planet-moon-system at all, and this is a major reason why Pluto was disqualified from being a planet proper in the first place!

this double-orbit is also a major reason why Pluto's orbit around the Sun is just so unbelievably fucked up.

which, again, is another reason why Pluto got kicked off of the Planets table and had to go sit with Planetoids and Dwarf Planets at the kiddy table.

(thanks a lot, Charon.)

uhhh but yeah basically these two idiot rocks are just holding hands and screaming while they cartwheel wildly through the outer solar system and it's pretty hilarious actually

happy indigenous peoples month. please dont forget that not all of us come from the americas.

Women who don't want babies

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”

this is entrapment
