Line 175: Numerous [[asteroid]] and [[Trans-Neptunian object|TNO]] moons are expected to be locked to their primaries.

While locking timescales can be estimated, the age of the primary+satellite system is difficult to gauge; most are thought to be the results of collisions in the last few hundred [[Myr]]. === Extra-solar === * [[Gliese 581 c]] may be tidally locked to its parent star [[Gliese 581]]. == See also == | |||
