  1. “small moons”

    They’re the 4th and 6th largest we know of. The Earth’s Moon is 5th, for comparison.

  2. Cant imagine how terrifying it would feel living on those moons and Jupiter is your horizon 24/7..

  3. Thirsty-Barbarian on

    The perspective or magnification or something makes it look like they just skimmed past each other. They must be much further apart than it looks.
