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)

- Logical conclusion to the Solar System featured articles. Note the term "big seven" has been used in sources.[1][2]. (Dropping my vote, as I'm a participant in the project.) Marskell (talk) 14:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support - I see no reason not to add them. Nergaal (talk) 16:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Great work, and a quite sensible addition. I guess now would be the time to consider altering the box by indenting the moons under their respective planets, and the dwarf planets under their respective "belts" (this has been suggested in the past).--Pharos (talk) 18:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
