Moons

Ensign Flandry.

Egrima and Buruz are the two moons of Starkad. Abrams sees them from Highport and Flandry sees them at sea. Seen from the Starkadian surface, Buruz is Luna-sized but Egrima is twice that. I have not noticed them before. (I have just checked the blog for any references.)

How many moons of fictional planets are there in the Technic History? How many moons have Merseia, Aeneas, Avalon, Dennitza etc? I am not going to look them up now but there is information to be found by searching this blog.

In Anderson's Psychotechnic History, the colonized terrestroid Atlantis is a moon of a gas giant called -? I posted it recently. (James Blish coined the term, "gas giant.")

I have to get back to work. This has been a pleasant lunch break.
