The video explains the basic science of orbits, where lighter objects orbit more massive ones. It explores the possibility of moons having their own moons, known as sub-moons, and the challenges they face due to gravitational forces from nearby massive bodies. The video discusses conditions that might allow sub-moons to exist, such as sufficient distance from the host planet. It highlights potential candidates for sub-moons, like Jupiter's Callisto and Saturn's Titan, and mentions recent research on exoplanets like Kepler-1625b. The discovery of sub-moons could enhance our understanding of planetary formation and dynamics.
