Never been to New York so I don’t really have an idea of the scale here. How many bananas big is New York?

How did they get all those moons to earth like that? And will they put them back at Jupiter? Geez, this is incredible, I wonder when that took place. I should have been able to see them from my house, but I don’t remember that. I must have been out of town.

And that passenger jet at the end? That looks dicey, glad it wasn’t my flight!

Megaclitee is about 5km, and as such, pretty easy to find.

It’s about time to qualify the term, the way they did with “planet” :thinking:

i thought if your moons of jupiter are falling that’s a good thing. it’s the saturn rising moons you have to watch out for. heck, they’ll sneak right up on you while you sleep :ringer_planet: :sleeping_bed:

“You flicked too hard, damn it!”

“And if you look out your right-hand windows, you can currently see Jupiter’s moon Io…”
