Today's trivia question.

How many moons does our solar system have?

A. 19

B. 180

C. 27

D. 14

B. 180, easy. And that may not even be the total real count. The Gas Giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) each have 30+, Pluto has 5 now and even some asteroids have moons of their own (Ida with Dactyl being a prime example). Granted, most moons are irregularly shaped, but they're still considered Natural Satellites under IAU definitions.
If you're looking for oblate spheroid moons exclusively however, Earth has 1, Jupiter has 4, Saturn has 7, Uranus has 5, Neptune has 1 and Pluto has 1. To conclude, Mars has two irregularly shaped moons. :-B

Ok, I'm done ruining another question.
