We often look up at the Earth\u2019s Moon as it hangs high in the night sky. However, our moon isn\u2019t alone. According to NASA there are 205 moons around the eight official planets. If the dwarf planets are included, the number is 214.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these moons are extremely small, but a few are large enough to be spherical and they really are worlds in themselves. Two are larger than the planet Mercury. Some have underground oceans of liquid water and might be the most promising places to find life outside of the Earth. One is covered with Sulphur volcanoes. Another has liquid methane seas and has been visited by a spacecraft from Earth. And, yes, you\u2019ll learn the true location of Shangri-La and Xanadu.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll take a tour of the larger solar system moons at the May meeting of the Forsyth Astronomy Society.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be a member to attend. The meeting is free and open to the public. Just bring your curiosity and sense of adventure.
