object lists?

[astrodoc]

What does the following command do?
select { object "Sol/Earth/Moon" }

How does it differ from
select { object "Moon" }
?

Thanks in advance

The long form of the name (formally called its "path") is to make sure that the correct "Moon" is selected -- the one that orbits around the Earth.

The person who wrote it wanted to make sure that the script didn't select some other object. You might have installed an Addon which put several bodies named "Moon" in orbit around several different planets, for example.

Thanks!

That makes lots of sense. I just couldn't find a clue in the docss.
