What is Xiangliu?
{{no sources|date=February 2021}} [[file:Xiangliu orbiting 225088 Gonggong (2010, cropped).jpg|thumb|Gonggong and its moon Xangliu (arrow)]] '''Xiangliu''' is the only moon of the [[dwarf planet]] [[225088 Gonggong]]. It was discovered by a team of [[astronomer]]s led by Csaba Kiss during an analysis of archival [[Hubble Space Telescope]] images of Gonggong. The discovery team thought that the slow rotation of Gonggong was caused by tidal forces exerted by a moon. Xiangliu was first identified in archival Hubble images taken with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 on 18 September 2010. Its discovery was reported and announced by [[Gábor Marton]], [[Csaba Kiss]], and Thomas Müller at the 48th Meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences on 17 October 2016. The satellite is named after Xiangliu, a nine-headed poisonous snake monster in [[Chinese mythology]] that attended the water god Gonggong as his chief minister. [[Category:Moons]] {{Sci-stub}}
