The Worst Moons in the Solar System

Now’s your chance as well as saying your favorite in that other thread I did, to tell me how much you hate a/some particular moon/s. I wonder how this will end up.

Re: Favorite Moons

For some reason, Oberon has practically always been my favorite moon, I don’t even know why. I seem to like the moons no one even talks about…I wish it was talked about more…

Re: Favorite Moons

Should I make another thread eventually for what you all think is the worst moon in the solar system? After this one gets quite a few posts? (I like asking for everyone’s opinions on various moons)

Favorite Moons

The title explains it all. Any of you got favorite moons? By the way, my two favorites (which I can never decide as my top favorite, it frequently changes) are actually Oberon and Umbriel…but there was one time last year where I was obsessed with Charon for a day.

Re: Would you go?

I’d rather stay on Earth, observing and monitoring stuff (mainly planets and moons) I’d be quite scared to go all the way up there.

Re: Starlink

Surprisingly I’ve never actually seen any Starlink satellites pass over…even on actually clear nights. I haven’t even seen any satellites go by, interrupting my observing (not even the ISS).

Re: How’s your day?

It's been fine, as usual. Just did some moon research, because I like moons, and read things. How about any of you?

Re: Introductions: How did you become interested in astronomy?

To be honest, I can't really remember how I get interested in things. That includes astronomy. I think I just read things about space and started to like it, and develop the interest then (when I was about 9 or 10, I'm 13 now). Last year was when I really got into moons, and I am still like that tod...
