		This table shows the moons that are on average the furthest from or the closest to the center of their planet, measured in units of 1000 km.
		The orbits of moons that are far enough away from their planet are influenced by the gravity of the Sun.
		The next table shows the moons with the highest and lowest equilibrium temperature (average surface temperature), based on the visual geometric albedo of the moons, and measured in kelvin (K) and degrees Celsius (°C).

	NATURAL SATELLITE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Several moons are thought to be captured asteroids; others may be fragments of larger moons shattered by impacts, or (in the case of Earth's Moon) a portion of the planet itself blasted into orbit by a large impact.
		Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet.
		Exceptions are Saturn's moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences, and the outermost moons of the gas giants, which are too far away to become 'locked' (an example is Saturn's moon Phoebe).

	The Moons of the Solar System — Naiad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The moon of Neptune – Naiad (III) – was previously temporarily designated as S/1989 N6.
		Naiads were nymphs and godesses of all kinds of springs, lakes and rivers (the name comes from the Greek word naias, náiados).
		The moon by this name is in (almost) circular prograde orbit (→eccentricity e = 0.0004) with a →semimajor axis a = 48,200 km.

	On This and Other Moons
		If the sizes of the moons are expressed relative to their primary (the planet they orbit) there are still more surprises.
		Being close to Jupiter (it is the innermost of the Galilean moons) the planet's massive gravity stretches the moon by some 100m and locks its rotation so the same side always faces the planet.
		But nearby moons Europa and Ganymede peturb it when they pass, making the tidal bulges shift and heating the Io's interior with the friction of the flexing.

		As of now, the two big-name California candidates are Arianna Huffington and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both of whom immediately announced that they were going to "clean house." I think this is an excellent political platform, and to help these two fledgling politicians, I decided to telephone a big-name expert.

		Our study will reveal any moons down to V magnitude 25.5, to address a peculiar truncation in the size distribution of inner moons and to look for the "shepherds" and source bodies for Neptune's dusty rings.
		{For comparison, Neptune's smallest known moon is Naiad, at magnitude 23.9}.
