Sounds like some stupid fake organization. Anyway, I'm American so I'm smarter than most people and I say they are planets according to the leading sciencetific journals of the day
-
Luke Skywalker said that Darth Vader was headed towards "that small moon." Since Star Wars is the authority on astronomy, it's moon! :D
-
different galaxy, different terminology
-
Well, all major publications consider those celestial bodies to be moons, and you're just some dumb ass on the destiny boards. I'll think I'll trust conventional astronomy.
-
Conventional astronomy says they're satellites. Our moon is also a satellite. A 'moon' is not a scientific term, it's more of a cultural and definitive term for our specific satellite. The terms can be used interchangeably but the scientific term, in astronomy, is satellite. Take astronomy 101 again dude

Why bother paying the tuition. I just googled it. Don't waste your money dude.

Maybe I'm smart for not wasting my time and money on astronomy 101. Simpleton.

Good to know that humanity's knowledge has taken from assholes like had gone to the shitter
-
Just because people learn it while taking a shit, doesn't make it any less true.
-
Yoy learn stuff while taking a shit wow you have to be the single most gullible person on the planet. If you had ever taken an astrology class in your life you'd know that they are not called moons for every planets they are satellites
-
So why do scientists call these bodies moons? Do you know something Neil degrasse Tyson doesn't know? Maybe you should be running the Hayden planetarium.
-
That is the scientific term
-
....dumpster man making fun of a guy learning while he takes a shit... lol...but yeah you are right they are called satellites....
-
They are all planets. Its clear in all major sciencetific books
