	Yikes, this thing is a monster. Good luck!

	Quizzes for each gas giant also exist separately: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Patteroast/jupiter_moons, http://www.sporcle.com/games/Patteroast/saturn_moons, http://www.sporcle.com/games/Patteroast/uranus_moons, http://www.sporcle.com/games/Patteroast/neptune_moons

	Would it make sense to also have a quiz for non-gas giants? That's, what, nine moons?

	Patteroast:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 14:27 GMT		1 point
	Sure, I made one covering the rest: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Patteroast/nongiant_moons By the way, do people prefer the discovery section with the discoverer and year, or just the year?

	GeoExpert:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 02:37 GMT		1 point
	Love it. To make it even more of a challenge, include asteroids. Ida, for example has a moon, Dactyl.

	I like having the discoverer there, sometimes it's helpful as with Galileo or Voyager, and regardless it's a fun thing to try to learn. :)

	Great quiz, though definitely hard. The format is good. I like having the discoverer as well.

	Patteroast:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 22:04 GMT		2 points
	I added all the named moons of asteroids as bonus answers. Thanks for playing the quiz!

	The problem with having the discoverer listed is that it makes players scroll more. If you haven't already, you might try changing the column widths. Still a great quiz, though.

	This is fantastic.

	Updated with a newly named moon, Jupiter's 50th: Herse.

	GeoExpert:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 00:12 GMT		1 point
	Okay, this HAS to get published. @Patteroast: Changing the column widths would help, as long as grouping the planets together

	Chipmunkdavis:	May 28th, 2010 at 16:12 GMT		1 point
	Interesting, yeah my knowledge is obviously terrible. I think Cruithne should be a bonus! Some consider it Earth's second moon. Make sure to keep the quiz fairly updated!
