It's always hilarious when Earth gets visited by aliens who come from a solar system where none of the planets have moons.

"Greetings, Earthlings. We come in peace." (glances up into sky) "Gaaah! What's THAT?!"

@KinkyTurtle Even if they do have moons, the earth's moon is very unusually large--most moons of a planet about earth's size are going to be a few dozen km across, not thousands of km across

@KinkyTurtle concept: aliens come to earth to talk about how impressed they are that the earthlings were able to build a kdagajg orb with their primitive space flight technology

earthlings are very confused

aliens realize that no, that's a natural moon, and are very embarrassed
