Although the borders may be somewhat nebulous, Saturn's moons can be divided into eight groups. Saturn's natural satellites - The ring shepherds. Shepherd satellites are moons that orbit within, or just beyond, a planet's ring system. They have the effect of sculpting the rings: giving them sharp edges, and creating gaps between them. Saturn's shepherd moons are Pan, Daphnis, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, S/2004 S 3, in addition to the unconfirmed moons S/2004 S 4 and S/2004 S 6. See also:

Mars has only a thin atmosphere; however, it is extremely dusty and there is much light that is scattered about. The sky is thus rather bright during the daytime and stars are not visible. Extraterrestrial skies - The colour of the Martian sky. Generating accurate true-colour images from Mars' surface is surprisingly complicated [1]. To give but one aspect to consider, there is the Purkinje effect: the human eye's response to colour depends on the level of ambient light — red objects appear to darken fas ...

Starsiege contains a rich backstory and plot, which are conveyed to the player via three main sources. The first source is the Compendium, a 150-page booklet which came in the box. The Compendium contains all of the necessary backstory to understand the plot, as well as copious information on the various sides and characters involved in the story. The War Timeline is a running timeline in the game that starts with important events as far back as 2422 and extends all the way to the present time in the game, with updates after each comp ...

Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet. Exceptions are Saturn's moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences, and the outermost moons of the gas giants, which are too far away to become 'locked' (an example is Saturn's moon Phoebe). It is not possible for a moon to have moons of its own: the tidal effects of their primaries would make such a system unstable. However, several moons have small companions in the Lagrangian po ...

The five Lagrangian points are labeled and defined as follows: Lagrangian point - L1. The L1 point lies on the line defined by the two large masses M1 and M2, and between them. Example: An object which orbits the Sun more closely than the Earth would normally have a shorter orbital period than the Earth, but that ignores the effect of the Earth's own gravitational pull. If the object is directly between the Earth and the Sun, then the e ...

The overwhelming majority of asteroids have orbits lying between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, roughly between 2 to 4 AU. These couldn't form a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter. Jupiter's gravitational influence, through orbital resonance, clears Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt, first recognised by Daniel Kirkwood in 1874. The region with the densest concentration (lying between the Kirkwood gaps at 2.06 and 3.27 AU, with eccentricities below about 0.3, and inclinations smaller than 30°) is often called the M ...

Starsiege - Mechanics. Gameplay in Starsiege revolves around piloting HERCs and tanks in combat against opposing vehicles. Both types of vehicles can be controlled via any combination of keyboard, joystick, or mouse, though the generally preferred setup is to use the keyboard or joystick to steer and the mouse to aim. Every vehicle has a unique performance, though this can be modified somewhat through customization of parts. Important factors include maximum speed, shield strength, type of armor, and weapo ...

For those who wish to personalize their experience, there are numerous ways to customize Starsiege. These range from simple visual modifications to complex modifcations that can heavily effect gameplay. The most basic way to customize the game is by adding personalized vehicle skins. Using templates from the CD and an image-editing program such as Photoshop, anyone can create a personal skin to place on his or her favorite vehicle. Because it is necessary for others to have the skin in order to be able to view it, many skins are compiled into ...

In the Sun–Jupiter system several thousand asteroids, collectively referred to as Trojan asteroids, are in orbits around the Sun–Jupiter L4 and L5 points. Other bodies can be found in the Sun–Saturn, Sun–Mars, Jupiter–Jovian satellite, and Saturn-Saturnian satellite systems. There are no known large bodies in the Sun–Earth system's Trojan points, but clouds of dust surrounding the L4 and L5 points were discovered in the 1950s. Clouds of dust, called Kordylewski clouds, even fainter than the notoriously weak gegenschein, are also pre ...

The libration point orbits have unique characteristics that have made them a good choice for performing some kinds of missions.

The first three Lagrangian points are technically stable only in the plane perpendicular to the line between the two bodies. This can be seen most easily by considering the L1 point. A test mass displaced perpendicularly from the central line would feel a force pulling it back towards the equilibrium point. This is because the lateral components of the two masses' gravity would add to produce this force, whereas the components along the axis between them would balance out. However, if an object located at the L1 point d ...

In 1772, the famed Italian mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange was working on the infamous three-body problem when he discovered an interesting quirk in the results. Originally, he had set out to discover a way to easily calculate the gravitational interaction between arbitrary numbers of bodies in a system, because Newtonian mechanics conclude that such a system results in the bodies orbiting chaotically until there is a collision, or a body is thrown out of the system so that equilibrium can be achieved. The logic behind this conclusion is ...

Saturn is currently known to have 47 moons, many of which were discovered very recently, and 3 suspected moons. However, a precise number of moons can never be given, as there is no objective dividing line between the anonymous orbiting fragments that form Saturn's ring system and the larger objects that have already been named as moons. Before the Space Age, 9 moons were known to orbit Saturn. In 1980, the Voyager space probes discovered 9 more moons in the inner Saturnian system. A survey starting in l ...

Starsiege is particularly known for its small but incredibly devout community of fans, who have created massive amounts of new content and modifications and even hosted new master servers after maintenance lapses have caused the game's original master server to go down on occasion. However, despite the overall devout nature of the fanbase, there is also an unusual amount of deep contention amongst Starsiege fans, particularly over issues which outsiders might consider trivial. Several fractures within the community exist, specifically betwee ...

Hesiod is not, however, the last word on the Titans. Surviving fragments of Orphic poetry in particular preserve some variations on the myth. In one Orphic text, Zeus does not simply set upon his father violently. Instead, Rhea spreads out a banquet for Cronus, so that he becomes drunk upon honey. Zeus chains him and castrates him. Rather than being consigned to Tartarus, Cronus is dragged – still drunk – to the cave of ...
