irregular satellites (satellites (natural), extraterrestrial bodies, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: In astronomy, moons or other natural satellites having a distant, inclined, eccentric, and retrograde orbit around a planet. Irregular satellites were likely captured by their parent planet rather than having been formed in situ. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Natuurlijke manen of satellieten die in een hoge, gehelde, excentrische en retrograde baan om een planeet bewegen. Irreguliere manen zijn waarschijnlijk van buiten aangetrokken door de primaire planeet, en zijn dus niet in situ gevormd. |
