'''Moon''' (or '''natural satellite''') is an astronomical body that orbits a [[planet]] or minor planet. There is no established lower limit on what is considered a "moon". Every natural celestial body with an identified orbit around a planet of the [[Sol system|Solar system]], some as small as a kilometer across, has been considered a moon, though objects a tenth that size within [[Saturn|Saturn's]] rings, which have not been directly observed, have been called ''moonlets''. The upper limit is also vague. Two orbiting bodies are sometimes described as a double planet rather than primary and satellite.<ref>[[wikipedia:Natural satellite|Natural Satellite - Wikipedia]]</ref>
== Travel ==
In ''[[Star Citizen]]'', moons are [[Quantum drive|quantum destinations]] just like planets. They have their own orbital markers and most of the time, surface locations. Travel to a moon almost always requires travel to its parent planet first. This can be circumvented if a ship exits quantum travel within a reasonable distance of the planet; usually within the orbit of the planets furthest orbital body.
