Orphaned moons (Holographic planet)

[Celulthor]

Apparently this can happen:

Well, at least those moons have each other. It is still sad to see them orphaned. The other one was so young it didn't even have a name.

That is an anomaly that just begs for a followup event.

I've seen that exact issue, and it triggers my OCD and the astronomy lover in me.

it's possible that the hologram apparatus had an artificial gravity generator.

It says so in the event... but also that we broke the projector producing both image and gravity well.

Is a binary orbit-whatever the proper term is called even possible revolving around a star?

You can have two bodies which both orbit a common barycentre - Pluto/Charon is an example - although usually they're either close together and similar in size, or the more traditional large body with small body orbiting it.

This particular configuration is way, way too unlikely.
