About Moons

Formation

Moons form through various processes including capture, co-formation with their parent planet, or impact events that eject material into orbit.

Orbital Dynamics

Moons exhibit complex orbital relationships, including tidal locking, resonances, and gravitational interactions that shape their evolution.

Surface Features

From cratered landscapes to active volcanism and subsurface oceans, moons display incredible geological diversity across the solar system.

Exploration Targets

Many moons are prime targets for exploration due to potential subsurface oceans, unique geology, and clues about planetary formation.
