A moon by definition has an orbit around the larger body, right? Does the smaller one orbit the larger one? I wouldn't have thought the gravitational power would be large enough between the two to do that, and would be more inclined to think that they're just cruising along together.

I guess if there's nothing perturbing their path, maybe even a weak gravitational force could lead them to orbit each other, but it seems like a well-thrown pass actually could hit the small one hard enough to break the orbit. Or at least a solid hit from a defensive tackle.
