Moons: A Very Short Introduction | David Rothery

[@DynamicGeezer]

I'm really looking forward to doing this course online. I definitely want to learn more about these fascinating moons.

[@sampathkumarish]

Good intro. Has me excited about the subject.

[@philgamlen5386]

Are the techniques for detecting exoplanets (star wobble/transit) able to accommodate/suggest possible exomoons ? Presumably the maths modeling of the observed star 'wobbles' can only work on the basis of a single planetary mass at a given orbit and not discriminate between a single planet or a smaller planet with one/more moons ?

I thought our moon was called Luna.

[@daveroth1956]

+Gowland1989 That's just 'moon' in Latin, and it's not widely used anyway.

[@1bgrant]

That's the English adjective to describe moon-like things.
