Binary system Memes

The ultimate cosmic roommate situation! Pluto and Charon are locked in a perpetual staring contest, forever facing each other like these two dudes about to drop the hottest diss track of the solar system. Unlike Earth's moon that politely shows different faces, these celestial bodies are gravitationally bound in what scientists call "tidal locking" - basically the astronomical equivalent of "I'm not breaking eye contact until YOU blink first!" Their centers of mass actually exist in the space between them, making them the only known binary planetary system in our cosmic neighborhood. Talk about an intense relationship - they've been giving each other the death stare for billions of years!

The celestial size queens of our solar system! Earth and Pluto bonding over their disproportionately large satellite companions. While most planets have sensibly-sized moons, these two are practically in binary relationships. Earth's moon is about 1/4 its diameter (absolutely massive compared to most planet-moon ratios), while Pluto's Charon is so big that their barycenter—the point they orbit around—actually lies outside of Pluto itself. It's less "I have a moon" and more "we're cosmic dance partners with boundary issues." The rest of the planets are just watching like, "get a room already."
