We are being astronomically accurate where possible, right?
I was certainly trying to be. Also, superscience telescopes may have better resolution.

Very good point. The roll for number of moons in GURPS Space is modified far enough down by Myrr's proximity to e Eridani that they're not even likely to have moonlets, leading me to wonder how we can justify them even developing a space program. Frequent asteroid approaches might have provided just the prompting they needed.
