Hello! Aspiring Astrophysicist here. I'm certainly no expert, but when it comes to moons I'll say the sky is the limit (bad). Since you're looking for a (relatively) large moon orbiting a smaller planet, you may want to consider a tidally-locked planet-moon system, where the moon and planet...

Any time! The -que thing I've only seen in particular instances, most notably the abbreviation Senatus Populusque Romanum (Senate and People of Rome, or SPQR). I haven't read enough to really comment on the usage, so just go with whichever you prefer. Best of luck with your project. :)

*My apologies if my spelling brings tears to your eyes, as I'm not able to install ieSpell on this computer.* Surprisingly, the Earthly component of my own world has only one "race" in the sense of species. There are however several ethnic/racial varieties of Humans, each of which take on...
