  Natural satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 Moon is one of the larger natural satellites with a diameter of 2,160 miles.

The smallest moon is Deimos, at Mars, only seven miles in diameter, although its size now is rivaled by the small shepherd moons discovered by Cassini at Saturn and by others yet to be counted and named in the rings around Jupiter, Saturn and other giant gas planets in the outer Solar System.

 Saturn's Ring and Moon Dynamics
When the inner moon has passed conjunction, it is slowed and the outer one speeded, restoring the original orbits.
Eventually, the two moons will become large enough by soft impacts from stray F-ring particles to both start orbiting one another or soft impact and become one body.
One intriguing aspect of Saturn's retinue of moons is the three groups of co-orbitals with nearly identical or identical orbital periods.

 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.
When it was discovered in 1978 it was realised that images previously thought to be of just Pluto had actually represented both the planet and its huge moon, and estimates of the planet's size had to be revised downwards.

 Phoebe (moon)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Phoebe (fee'-bee, Greek Φοίβη) is a moon of Saturn.
The outer moons can be broken down into two groups: Siarnaq's group (Kiviuq, Ijiraq, Paaliaq, Albiorix, Erriapo, Siarnaq and Tarvos) is inclined 33.5-46.5° whilst Phoebe's group (Phoebe, Skathi, Narvi, Mundilfari, Suttungr, Thrymr and Ymir) is retrograde and inclined 134.5-175.5°.
Both groups are fairly to highly eccentric, and none of their moons are expected to rotate synchronously as all the inner moons of Saturn do (except for Hyperion).

The long spiralling orbit around Earth, which is bringing the spacecraft closer and closer to the Moon, is needed for the ion engine to function and be tested over a distance comparable to that a spacecraft would travel during a possible interplanetary trip.
The same thrust will allow the spacecraft to progressively fall into the natural sphere of attraction of the Moon and start orbiting around it from 13 November, when it is 60 000 kilometres from the lunar surface.
After that it will continue orbiting around the Moon in smaller loops until it reaches its final operational orbit (spanning between 3000 and 300 kilometres over the Moon's poles) in mid-January 2005.

That may be due to the small size of their moons (6 and 11 km), or because they're subservient to their planet's senshi.
(Our moon is a special case because it's so large; all the other moons are tiny relative to their planets, except Charon which is about the same size as Pluto.) You didn't include Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, so I assume you're aware that their senshi appeared in the manga.
