As we all know, Praxis exploded in the 2290s or so, as seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Yet everyone went loco when we saw a shattered moon in both Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek Into Darkness, stating that Praxis shouldn't be shattered yet due to taking place decades earlier.
Well... I have a theory.
Its not Praxis we're seeing in Into Darkness and Discovery.
In TUC, Dimitri reports "Its Praxis sir. Its a Klingon Moon."

He doesn't say its THE Klingon Moon like one might refer to Earth's singular Moon. He says its A Klingon Moon. Now... we don't really have any on screen Canon evidence to say Qo'nos ONLY has one moon. So my theory is... Qo'nos had 2 moons. One that had ALREADY been shattered, say... back when the Hur'q attacked the Klingons. If what is said about Klingons getting their tech originally from the Hur'q, having an already shattered moon would give them EASY access to resources, and then eventually they would start mining Praxis. Then in the 2290s... BOOM! Industrial accident that was the tipping point for negotiations with the Federation.
Why don't we ever see more than one Moon? Because its on the opposite side of the planet. If you look at say... Jupiter. Not all of that planet's moons are on the same side of the planet. So the 2 moon theory is plausible.

Well, no. Because Martok was refused promotion by Kor, so it'd have to be around the DSC-TMPish era timeline when Martok grew up there so the moons in DSC and ID must be different moons.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I don't know how this works with the prime universe as I'm not interested, I just feel like it would be better if all the new Star Trek was another universe like JJ Trek was. Instead of messing with the prime universe.
According to Memory Alpha Praxis is the only satellite of Qo'noS.
This is further backed up by the Star Trek Star Charts.
It may be best to open the pictures in a new tab so you can zoom in on them.
See? He's got it.
We don't know how many moons Qo'nos has had TOTAL. Praxis was just one. It would be just like if Earth had a debris ring as well as Luna. "Earth only has one Moon" would still be very accurate.
