La Luna

In class we spoke about the exploration of space: How exciting and how terrifying. But who doesn't love the man in the moon? Doesn't he seem like a companion?

For our Earth, there is but one solar companion, one right-hand man that commands attention at night and sends a little order to our waters: the moon. We seem him fairly often, making a sleepy appearance at night to tuck us into bed.
Othertimes, the moon gets cheeky and smirks at us from a clear blue sky, reminding us that just when we feel so busy, so in command, abiding to our silly man made laws, we are barely a moment in a very lengthy novel about the universe.

So we can agree we are almost nothing in comparison, let's look at the other planets and their moons. Let's look at Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, commanding a fleet of moons to our pithy one.

I mean, really. The numbers don't lie. But did the planets have to show off quite so much? Couldn't they have been team players, just a little bit?

No.

SERIOUSLY JUPITER?

16 Moons?  Those four are only a quarter of all the moons. A QUARTER.
And their size, damn, so to say.



Let's move onto Saturn then.

Oh.
These are simply just the major moons of Saturn. That means there are more. Again, for those counting, we have one.

That's fine.

JUST FINE OVER HERE WITH OUR MOON.
Also, side note, check out all the cool names Saturn and Jupiter have for their moons: Rhea, Dione, Europa. Do you know what we call our moon? Moon. We are like small children who got to name the family dog and in our excitement we spurted out DOG.

And Neptune:

Seriously? Triton? HOW CLEVER IS THAT! Is one of the moons named Larissa? Are they dating? What is this??

But Pluto wouldn't do us wrong like that. Not Pluto. 

FOUR MOONS??? And some of the names rhyme? I am now just embarrassed and desperate. 

However, let me make final comment in the theme of frustration, indignation and revenge. 

Of all these planets, with all their moons and what have you, how many of them have life?

You go Earth and Moon!
