How many moons does planet Earth really have?

Asked by Pied_Pfeffer (28141points) May 25th, 2012

Is there only one?

Is it possible that there are two, as mentioned by Stephen Fry, host of QI in this clip?

A year later, Mr. Fry tosses in a curve ball to his QI panel by asking the same question, but stating the answer is that Earth has either one or five moons, depending upon whose viewpoint you believe, based upon new discoveries.

So, what is the true answer? What facts can you provide to back up your call on this?
