Title: It is as big as a battleship!
Post by: Dr. Whom on November 04, 2023, 12:55:55 PM
From the coverage of the Dinkinesh flyby by Nasa's Lucy Mission on Universe Today:

The Dinkinesh moonlet is an estimated 220 meters (720 feet) across, about the size of an Iowa-class battleship.

Sounds like Dinkinesh gave birth:

Yay, I guess? I'm not a space geek, not sure how to react to this  :bouncegiggle:

I assume they don't give moonlets names? How about Lil' Dinginess?

Well, I thought a battleship was only used as a unit of measurement in The Giant Claw
