redirect

The content of this article is more or less a straight copy and paste from the main article. There doesn't seem a whole lot of point in doing that, so I've changed it back to a redirect. When so little is known about the moon anyway, it makes much more sense to discuss it in the main article.

Natural satellites deserve own articles, but since there is so little information available (there's even been rumors that it isn't real after all), keeping the article only a redirect is justified.--Jyril 12:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
