Why does Jupiter have 95 moons and Earth only one? Why moons are not pulled in by sun? Mystery unraveled, details here
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are much larger than Earth, Mars, Mercury and Venus and they have larger Hill sphere radii. They are also farther from the Sun and so this star can not pull their moons in.

Now you can experience falling in a black hole, NASA unveils virtual simulator; Here's how to use the cosmic tool
NASA has unveiled a groundbreaking visualisation that allows the public to take a virtual journey near a black hole, combining scientific theory with digital imagery. Developed by astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman, this tool offers two scenarios: one where a camera approaches the event horizon and is slingshot back out, and another where it crosses the event horizon, illustrating the intense gravitational pull of black holes.
