Are we classifying moons and planets wrong? 🌍🌑

Most astronomy textbooks use the "Barycenter" to define the difference between a planet-moon system and a binary system. But there is a problem: that definition is physically arbitrary.

In this whiteboard animation, we explore a better standard called "The Trojan Test." Proposed by physicists, this test uses the stability of Lagrange points (L4 and L5) to determine the true relationship between celestial bodies.

We will analyze:
1. Why the center of mass (Barycenter) definition fails.
2. What the Trojan Test actually is.
3. The critical mass ratio (25:1).
4. The final verdict: Is the Earth-Moon system a binary planet?
