Seems more like Earth's ping pong ball, and the ball is doing its own kidney bean orbit.

And it's moon Cheron is as big as it is!<br />An astroid circling Tera is an astroid circling Tera. If Mars can have 2 and Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus have 11 to 22, than we can have two too.<br />Was brontosaurus just renamed?<br />OHHHH, British humor.

Fred Flintstone is right! How do you say yabba-dabba-do if you're not sliding down the neck of a brontosaurus?

There's another BBC regular named Stephen Fry-only he is Stephen Frey--and he is decidedly not dry. <br /><br />I agree with you, Martha. I hate when scientists change science. I mean, if President Kennedy had made his famous vow to put an American on the moon, and someone said, "Which one?" that would just have destroyed the moment.
