It's certainly not too big, as Pluto's moon Charon is almost as big as
Pluto itself.  I also don't know what is "too near," but the tides on
this planet must be indescribably savage.  That is, unless the moon
has a tidal lock on the planet (which is indeed the case with Pluto).
In this case, tourists must flock from the other side of the planet
just to have a look at this celestial wonder that they never get to
see from home.

POV story-telling!  Is this a new genre?
