Re: >> Amazing Flash Animation >> MANY moons around the Earth >>
.
We have been not lucky about Earth's satellites, but... just imagine that we have MANY moons running around the Earth... like in this unique Flash animation:

in the same page of the animation I've added a second (static) image with some moons in a city's skyline:

Nice Did you know that if Jupiter and Mars switched places, then Jupiter would be observeble as a disk

No, Jupiter would no doubt be as Observable as it is from its Orbit, since the Earth would (probably) be a moon.

Not really this is how Jupiter would look like at 0,8 AU. Earths orbit would no doubt be perturbed (even Mars does that) but not enough to be captured by Jupiter.
Note that this is around the closest aproach they could be as far as 2 AU apart. So it would grow and shrink noticeable

Welcome to newmars dunwich.
Thank you for the image. It is fun to imagine.
Please forgive Terraformer's rudeness. He is a child.

Re: >> Amazing Flash Animation >> MANY moons around the Earth >>
That would be cool 
Imnagine this:
Sun, saturn, jupiter, earth, venus, neptune, uranus, mars, pluto.
Solar system wouldn't be anything liike it is today, but venus would probably be semi-habitable.

Re: >> Amazing Flash Animation >> MANY moons around the Earth >>
I don't think such an arrangement could work, as the other planets would be thrown out of the System?

Re: >> Amazing Flash Animation >> MANY moons around the Earth >>
Of course, it would depend on how far away each of the planets were. Jupiters moons might be habitable.
