User:Shabidoo/Saturn's Moons

Saturn is famous for its orange like glow and a beautiful and complex set of rings that surround tge planet making it look fatter than it really is. Those horizontal stripes are never good for ones figure. Neptune's small rings are verticle giving it a much slimmer shape which compliments its blue colour, a blue that is neither dark nor light, but a shahowy hue. Neptune wins in the game of beauty. Saturn, however, easily beats all the other planets put together not only on the size of its rings, but even more so on its quantity and variety of moons. Astronomers are still counting the amount of moons that surround saturn and are still arguing about which orbiting objects are moons and which are metorites. This is known to create extremely heated arguments and has been known to end a few friendships. A rather unknown fact about the moons of Saturn is the composition of some of the larger ones, whose atmospheres are quite similar to the inner planets of our solarsystems. No less than two of the moons have an atmosphere not tthat much different from our own planet Earth. A far less known fact about the moons of Saturn is that the pantheon of Greek gods live there having left Earth 1,100 years ago. For all of its incredible beauty, the surfact of Saturn is mostly a large concentrated ball of metal, molten in the inside and covered with a fog of corrosive chemicals on the outside. Higher in the atmosphere are clouds of various gasses spinning around the metal core at an incredible speed. Nothing could survive a decent onto the planet, at least with the technology available to earth, including covert cia experiments. The moons of Saturn are ccompletely different,, made up of minerals and icy liquids, their surfaces are far more acesible. Some are grey like earths moon (known as the moon) and others are a frosty blue with stractes on their surfaces left by some demi gods who skated on its surfact one week. The study of the moons of Saturn is called Lunimus-Saturnusetology. As of now, there are three professwors who dedicate their research solely to the moons of Saturn. This effectively means that one university for every 2,000 has aem ber who is a Luminus-Saturnusetologist. This is a much higher rate than scientists who dedicate their investigation to the moons of Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter. Amature scientists are far more numerous. The study, writing and publications of the moons of Saturn and the fiction and cimea industry writings about the moons of Saturn is a 500,000 industry providing employment for nearly two dozen people. This sector sees a yearly growth of about 1 percent per year meaning the percentage of people who study the moons of Saturn decreases each year as population growth overtakes the yearly groth of Saturnus-Studibusologists.

Discovery

Saturn was discovered some time in the past when an anonoous astronomer realised that there had to be a moon past the orbit of Jupiter. He was burned at the stake for claiming that another planet could exist as the bible did not mention it, nor was the pope at the time aware of it. He did however leave a book with his wife with thousands of formulas whih probed its existence. A young astronomer found the book while casually browsing the library of a polish prince (looking for a peanut butter pie recipee" and immediately started to decode and understand the formulas. While he was incapable of understanding the first line, his grandson, Copernicus could and famously pointed his telescope to his predicted location of Saturn seeing the planet with out any rings. The spanish inquisition emmediately arrested him for proving the vatican wrong and tortured him for a few years. After his release he published his account of discovering the moon and the horrors of Polish prisons at the time. The evocative writing on Polish prisons made Capernicus an over night sensation. Behind the sceenes scientists began to study Saturn and realised that it must have many moons. Ministra, the godess of knowledge quietly observed the lunacy of the Earth but took a pause back when she realised that humans, in only one generation went from removing earth from the centre of the solar system to guessing if an unknown planet had moons. It gave all the greek gods a moment to puase.

Voyageur 3

The third roaming satelite with the name Voyaguer (not the big ship with humans, and African American Vulcan and a very attractive robot-human) first took many pictures of Saturn in black and white and then took some very bad pictures in mostly grey of a few moons and satelites. The pictures and scans of the moon's surface didn't reveal much to any one but they did look quite beautiful. Astronomers had a field day naming the moons. There were simply so many to name. The greek gods however sabotaged the Voyageur satelite with false readings and sent it on its way.

Naming the moons

In English the names of the moons are rather different than the names of the moons in defferent languages than English.
