00:00 A study looked into how many moons Earth could have in a stable orbit.
00:04 Turns out, Earth could have anywhere from 3 to 7 moons that could stay put without things getting all messed up.
00:11 It would depend on how big these moons would be.
00:14 Researchers say that we could have up to 3 moons about the size of our current moon,
00:19 4 moons like Pluto, or 7 moons like Ceres.
00:22 Oh, can you imagine how awesome it would be to see 3 moons when you look at the clear night sky?
00:28 This study is helpful because it gives us an idea of how many moons we might find around other Earth-like planets far away from us.
00:38 Even though Earth only has one moon, other planets in our solar system have more.
00:43 Jupiter has more than 80, and Saturn has 146 moons in its orbit.
