Presentation transcript:

The (most noticeably) RiNged World… Saturn

Saturn = kronos/cronus (Chief of the Titans)

Saturn has a lower (average) density than liquid water! (…but I wouldn’t recommend the experiment below…)

How did the Cassini satellite end its mission on sept. 15, 2017?

Internal layers of planet saturn

Saturn IS WARMED INTERALLY, BY… …HELIUM “RAIN”!

Saturn’s thick, high-ALTITUDE HAZE LAYER OBSCURES ITS JUPITER-LIKE fEATURES…

Saturn’s mysterious “polar vortex” (…a hexagon on saturn?!)

Dusty “Spokes” in Saturn’s Rings

But What creates all of this fine-detailed ringlet structure? …Interactions with saturn’s moons!

Saturn’s Moon pan in the “encke gap”

So, what’s going on here…?

How does the moon mimas create the cassini division? …it uses a 2:1 “Resonance”!
