How did you arrive at that figure? On one hand, I can't see how any moon bar
the Earth's Moon would be interesting except from an astronomical POV (for
the time being, at least), whereas one the other hand, there are seven
planet-sized ones: the Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and
Triton. All are bigger or much bigger than Pluto, and Ganymede, Callisto and
Titan have larger diametres than Mercury, altho' Mercury's mass is larger
than any one of them's.
