A natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits another celestial body of greater mass (e.g., a planet, star, or dwarf planet), which is called its primary. For example, the Moon is a natural satellite of Earth, and Earth is a natural satellite of the Sun.
In the Solar System there are 173 known natural satellites which orbit within 6 planetary satellite systems. In addition, several other objects are known to have satellites, including three IAU-listed dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea, and Eris.As of January 2012, over 200 minor-planet moons have been discovered. There are 76 known objects in the asteroid belt with satellites (five with two each), four Jupiter trojans, 39 near-Earth objects (two with two satellites each), and 14 Mars-crossers. There are also 84 known natural satellites of trans-Neptunian objects. Some 150 additional small bodies have been observed within the rings of Saturn, but only a few were tracked long enough to establish orbits. Planets around other stars are likely to have satellites as well, and although numerous candidates have been detected to date, none have yet been confirmed.
The Moon (in Greek: σελήνη Selene, in Latin: Luna) is Earth's only natural satellite. It is one of the largest natural satellites in the Solar System, and, among planetary satellites, the largest relative to the size of the planet it orbits (its primary). It is the second-densest satellite among those whose densities are known (after Jupiter's satellite Io).
The Moon is thought to have formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, not long after Earth. There are several hypotheses for its origin; the most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body called Theia.
The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face with its near side marked by dark volcanic maria that fill between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters. It is the second-brightest regularly visible celestial object in Earth's sky after the Sun, as measured by illuminance on Earth's surface. Although it can appear a very bright white, its surface is actually dark, with a reflectance just slightly higher than that of worn asphalt. Its prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art, and mythology.
Social science is a major category of academic disciplines, concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society. It in turn has many branches, each of which is considered a "social science". The main social sciences include economics, political science, human geography, demography and sociology. In a wider sense, social science also includes some fields in the humanities such as anthropology, archaeology, jurisprudence, psychology, history, and linguistics. The term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the field of sociology, the original 'science of society', established in the 19th century.
Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural sciences as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter modern sense. Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader sense. In modern academic practice, researchers are often eclectic, using multiple methodologies (for instance, by combining the quantitative and qualitative techniques). The term social research has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share in its aims and methods.

The satellites of the planets of the solar system ... Once upon a time they were not known, or they were not interested, but now they are at the forefront of astronomical research. Surprisingly, not all of them are similar to our moon. "Small" members of the solar system does not cause lack of interest. What surprises await us in these alien moons? The satellites of the planets - a body of natural or synthetic origin, like the planet, but smaller, orbiting planets. In relation to satellite earth is not alone. Most of the other planets in the solar system also have moons. The number of satellites there are between 1 to as much as 67 Earth to Jupiter. Two of our planets, Mercury and Venus have no satellites. Saturn - 63, Uranus - and Neptune 27 - 14. 5 satellites of Pluto, which include Cha...

SETI Talks archive: http://seti.org/talks The natural satellites of the giant planets of our Solar System are nearly all locked into resonances. There are spin-orbit resonances, resulting in synchronous rotations as for our Moon, but also orbital resonances between them. This configuration cannot be the result of a random process but is the consequence of slow dissipation acting over the ages, driving the system into a dynamical equilibrium. Quantifying this dissipation yields clues on the internal structure of these bodies and their parent planets. A good way to quantify this process is to elaborate accurate orbital ephemerides of these bodies, in which this dissipation is considered. For that, we must dispose of the last 100 years of astrometric observations. In this talk, Dr. Noyelle...
The Universe: The Moon - Space Documentary The unique features of Earth's moon and the processes that shaped it are described. Past theories of the Moon's formation are also presented. The Moon is an astronomical body that orbits planet Earth, being Earth's only permanent natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest natural satellite in the Solar System, and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits (its primary). Following Jupiter's satellite Io, the Moon is second-densest satellite among those whose densities are known. The average distance of the Moon from the Earth is 384,400 km (238,900 mi), or 1.28 light-seconds. The Moon is thought to have formed about 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth. There are several hypotheses for its o...
In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon. The world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Since then, thousands of satellites have been launched into orbit around the Earth. Some satellites, notably space stations, have been launched in parts and assembled in orbit. Artificial satellites originate from more than 40 countries and have used the satellite launching capabilities of ten nations. A few hundred satellites are currently operational, whereas thousands of unused satellites and satellite fragments orbit the Earth as space debris. A few space probe...

Because of its proximity to the Sun, Mercury and Venus are hot and rocky planets. You will get acquainted with the history of their formation during the birth of the Solar System, and a trip to the most secretive of the planet of the Solar System, to see their strange and thrilling landscapes ... Mercury - the closest planet to the Sun, the solar system, orbiting the Sun for 88 Earth days. The duration of one sidereal day on Mercury is 58.65 Earth and sun - 176 the earth. The planet is named after the Roman god of commerce - Mercury swift as it moves across the sky faster than the other planets. Mercury relates to the inner planets, as its orbit lies within the Earth's orbit. After deprivation of Pluto in 2006. Mercury planet status passed the title of the smallest planet of the solar sys...
Great video explaining the science of Jupiter and the exciting Juno mission. Features interviews with scientists and engineers working on the probe with interesting computer-generated imagery of the mission. Explains the science of the solar system, why this mission matters, the instruments on board and the scientists and engineers behind this mission. Read much more at the source of this documentary, http://missionjuno.swri.edu I downloaded hundreds of 1 minute videos and combined, so the "documentary" changes style a bit and is a little long-winded. Once it gets long-winded stop watching, skim through it or even better watch 2x speed! The probe arrives at Jupiter on July 4th 2016. (Launched August 5 2011)
