[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 140414, member: 12855"] This is brilliant!! It's interesting as I heard the theory about multiple moons a few years ago but whenever I asked astronomers they laughed at me. It all comes down to what you define as a moon as an influence on the orbit alone isn't enough. The characteristics of the object are also important. More explanation here; [B]How Many Moons Does Earth Have?[/B] by Fraser Cain on <abbr class="published" title="2008-06-12">June 12, 2008</abbr> [URL="http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/fullmoon.jpg"][IMG]http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/fullmoon-247x250.jpg[/IMG][/URL] With more the 60 moons orbiting Jupiter, and 2 going around Mars, you might think that we should have plenty of moons orbiting Earth. But no, Earth only has one moon… the Moon. You can view the moon from where you are but you may need a telescope to see clearly its surface. <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table>Scientists think that the Moon was formed when a giant Mars-sized object crashed into the Earth, early on in its history.

Although there are many different names for the Moon: blue moon, harvest moon, new moon, full moon, it’s all just describing the same object. There are two other objects that some scientists have referred to as Earth’s other moons, but they aren’t really moons. The first is called 3753 Cruithne, and it’s not a moon at all, but an asteroid that orbits the Sun. Since its orbit takes the same amount of time to orbit the Sun as the Earth, it sometimes looks like it’s following Earth in orbit around the Sun.

Still just 1. The other object is called 2002 AA<sub>29</sub>, and it takes an even more bizarre orbit around the Sun.
