Ugh. I’d complain about dinky little rocks like that being called moons, but the last time astronomers got fussy about things like that, we lost Pluto.

We’ve found 69, but we have mislaid about 11 of those, so the actual total we can point to with confidence is only 58.
(The missing 11 have probably already been repurposed as supervillain lairs).

There’s already a dog-chew asteroid called Eros, that might give us some 5 x dinosaur killer loving in the far future.
