MODERATORS
in Asimov's Foundation series, there is (was) a galaxy-spanning human civilization, but Earth was lost and mostly considered mythical. One of the arguments against it actually existing was the absurdity of such a double planet system existing. In the wider galaxy only giant planets had such large satellites.
In his books were they similarly absurdly tiny, rotating in irregular orbits well outside of their class of planets, and inhabiting an entire solar system of similarly sized unremarkable objects?
