Is Our Solar System Missing Moons?

From the creator

You might be pretty confident that when a moon is there it’s there to stay, but that’s not always the case. Moons may have a history of disappearing. Hosted by: Savannah Geary (they/them) Correction: 05:19 Well, this is half right. The moons don't actually orbit the same distance from Mars and orbit on opposite sides of the synchronous radius.
