Past a certain point in size, the moons are only interesting to scientists and amateurs. Teaching them about the 20 or so “Regular Moons” should be sufficient.
Yeah! And maybe to help the school children out there should be a distinction between regular moons and other moons.
Maybe call them “dwarf moons”.
