jupiter has 4 main moons, n several dozen other smaller sub-satellites - the ancient symbol for jupiter is a stylized 4 (n for saturn, a similarly stylized 5; mars n venus, the modern male n female symbols, respectively) - but now we know that jupiter, a gas giant, is bigger than all the other planets combined - and if all 4 gas giants (jupiter, saturn, uranus n neptune) combined into one mass, we might just get (just barely) a 2nd star, brown or red dwarf, n binary system in the bargain - where i'm goin with all this, i dunno... but it's nice to have someone to talk to about space n stuff ;o)
