Similarly many of the other planets have their moons. these mooms belonging to the planets were not thus formed maybe they were formed by tidal action similar to that which seems to have formed the planets. Perhaps this is the more likely and the sun was the one res ponsible for the breaking up of these small moona from the side

Beyond Mars there is a space where it would seem a planet should be, bigger than Mars and knaller than Jupiter, but. instend there is a swarm, of tiny planet> enlled ASTEROIDS.
