It's not Saturnian either, for it has a right ascension of 11 hours.


Is it revolving around the planets Neptune or George (Uranus)?

8: No, it is not revolving about Neptune or George - though the Neptunians and the Georgians probably think that the whole Universe revolves about them.

It is not a resident of the Jovian system.
It is a moon or on a moon.
It is in the Solar System.
At the moment (18:03 UT on 6 Jan 2008) it is not located between 0 and 12 hours RA.
It is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Nuclear fusion is not occurring there.
It is not larger than a protoplanetary disc.

Yes, those Neptunians are nuts!

Is it beyond Neptune's orbit? [current distance]

Phobos and Deimos don't meet the current right ascension criterion.

It would not be an Eroican object and be uninteresting.

I have another question ready but I'm awaiting an answer to George's query.

Well, I suspected that it might be Earth's Moon when Eroica gave her fourth response: At the moment (18:03 UT on 6 Jan 2008) it is not located between 0 and 12 hours RA. It seemed likely that the object had to be something moving rather rapidly across the heavens. I had to check on what the Moon's right ascension was at the time that Eroica answered my question.

13. Is it an impact feature?

I simply assumed he (Eroica is a mythical god, I think) meant it varried over time, but did not think it would be so rapid. Good thinking, Dave.
