Derminmus

Derminmus (small, top), moon of Derbin (large, bottom). Seen from an observatory on Mesbin.

Name: Derminmus

Designation: Kaywell Ad I 1

Discovery (Mesbin): Naked Eye Object.

Derbin's innermost satellite (arguably a sub-satellite or "moonmoon"), Derminmus is a small brown dot visible in the sky near Derbin. When viewed through a telescope, green "oceans" are visible on the surface. This has led some gastronomical fiction authors to propose that Derminmus is in fact one massive chocolate-minty treat, and that a manned expedition to this satellite to prove the theory is one of the most important goals of any space program.
