KBOs Orcus & Quaoar have moons.<br /><br />Seems like many KBOs will have moons.<br /><br />Not surprised with Orcus & Quaoar though, as they are both rather large (approx the size of Charon<br />or half of Pluto).<br /><br />To me Quaoar is more interesting due to it being covered in crystalline ice, <br />cryovolcanism??<br /><br />What will its newly found moon reveal?<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
