  1. Io
  2. Europa
  3. Ganymede
  4. Callisto
  5. Titan
  6. Triton
Main page Articles

These six featured articles represent a large segment of the Solar System's geography. The "big seven" moons, as astronomers call them, fill a "mass gap" in the Solar System between the planets and the dwarf planets. The smallest big moon, Triton, is larger than all the smaller moons put together. These moons are also highly evolved worlds in their own right, with weather, complex geology, and the possibility of life. This nomination also gives a reason for the Moon to be included that is more than historical. Serendipodous 09:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
