Welcome to Enceladus A Moon Of Saturn Answers
Resolved Question: Can someone give me the names of Planetoids, Asteroids, Moons, and all their Info?
I'm adding whole loads of Planetoids, Asteroids, Moons, and their info including the Planet Eris. I need all their information accurate so no playing around. Please be true and correct straight down to the minute. That means I need to know the exact rotation rate and everything. I already have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Phobos, Deimos, Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Saturn, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, Phoebe, Uranus, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, Neptune, Triton, Nereid, Pluto, Charon, Ashbrook-Jackson (47P), CINEOS (167P), Catalina-LINEAR (227P), Christensen (164P), Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P), Echeclus (174P), Encke (2P), Forbes (37P), Garradd (186P), Ge-Wang (142P), Gehrels (82P), Gunn (65P), Hale-Bopp (C1995 01), Halley's Comet, Hartley (100P), Helin-Lawrence (152P), Helin-Roman-Alu (117P), Hill (195P), Hill (211P), Holmes (17P), Holt-Olmstead (127P), Howell (88P), Hyakutake, IRAS (126P), Klemola (68P), Kopff (22P), Korlevic (203P), Korlevic-Juric (183P), Kowal (104P), Kowal-LINEAR (158P), Kowal Mrkos (143P), LINEAR (176P), LINEAR (187P), LINEAR (217P), LINEAR (228P), LINEAR-NEAT (224P), LONEOS (150P), Larsen (200P), Longmore (77P), Machholz (141P), McNaught (220P), Metcalf-Brewington (97P), Mueller (131P), Mueller (136P), Mueller (173P), NEAT (166P), NEAT (180P), NEAT (215P), Pigott-LINEAR-Kowalski (226P), Reinmuth (30P), Reinmuth (44P), Russell (94P), Schaumasse (24P), Schwassmann-Wachmann (31P), Schwassman Wachmann C (73P), Scotti (202P), Shajn-Schaldach (61P), Shoemaker-Holt (128P), Shoemaker-Levy (118P), Shoemaker-Levy (137P), Shoemaker-Levy (145P), Siding Spring (162P), Skiff (223P), Smirnova-Chernykh (74P), Swift-Gehrels (64P), Tempel (10P), Tempel 1 (9P), Tritton (157P), Tuttle (8P), Van Ness (213P), West-Hartley (123P), Whipple (36P), Wild (116P), Wild (81P), Wolf (14P), Wolf-Harrington (43P), Yeung (127P), and de Vico-Swift-NEAT (54P) and I need to know the AU, the Eccentricity, the Inclination, the Ascending Node, Arg of Pericentre, the Mean Anomaly, and their epochs, whatever epoch means; but the default is currently at 2451545 Julian days. I don't know what it was at before but Starry Night goes all the way back 34802846.5 days although the times of the Day are definitely not accurate at the very beginning of Starry Night time, before the Julian days were numbered as they are today. I also need to know their AU, the Eccentricity, the Inclination, the Ascending Node, the Arg of Pericentre, their Mean Anomaly, whatever that is, and their epochs; which are all currently at 2451545 Julian days, but Starry Night begins 34802486.5 days before they started numbering the Julian day, but the times of the Day are so inaccurate that that is not accurate either. Make sense? I want to know their Meridian position, their Rotation rate, their Pole RA, their Pole Declination, their Diameter, and Surface. The rotation rate shouldn't be that hard to figure out. The Rotation rate is not only determined by how fast they spin but is determined by the equation of 24 hours per day divided by the number of hours they take to rotate or per sidereal day. A Child's Introduction to the Night Sky Book I am reading confirms Jupiter to have a total of 61 moons, but my Starry Night program only confirms Jupiter to have 4 moons, thus it's missing 57 moons. I don't know what the average length of the Jupiter month would be but I'd figure with those 4 moons only, the average length of the month on Jupiter is 7.290975 days, or 7 days 6 hours 59 minutes and 0.24 seconds, or 7 days 6 hours 59 minutes and 240 milliseconds, or in Jupiter time, 17 days 14 hours 58 minutes and 2.85107111563214454773439152373375 seconds or 17 days 14 hours 58 minutes 2 seconds 851 milliseconds 711,156 nanoseconds 321,445,477 picoseconds and 343,915,237,337.5 femtoseconds. I don't know what goes beyond the femtoseconds, but it has to be something even smaller; or in Jupiter sidereal time, 17 sidereal days 15 sidereal hours and 20.88638195004029008863819500402901 sidereal seconds or 17 sidereal days 15 sidereal hours 20 sidereal seconds 886 sidereal milliseconds 381,950 sidereal nanoseconds 402,900,886 sidereal picoseconds and 381,950,040,290.1 sidereal femtoseconds but then I know the average length of the Jupiter month is going to be a lot longer than that rather than them just having around 594 lunar months a year on average. It needs to compensate those 57 moons and I also heard that Saturn contains 30 moons, but my Starry Night only confirmed Saturn to have 9 moons. I don't know what the average length of the Saturn month would be but those 9 moons would only make the average of a month on Saturn 5555 years 217 days 3 hours 22 minutes and 6.54666666666666666661866720002348 seconds or 5555 years 217 days 3 hours 22 minutes 6 seconds 546 milliseconds 666,666 nanoseconds 666,666,666 picoseconds and 666,666,666,666.66661866720002348 femtoseconds or in Saturn time, 1699 years 6403 days 22 hours 46 minutes and 2.4246155001079133305461222751382 seconds or 1699 years 6403 days 22 hours 46 minutes 2 seconds 424 milliseconds 615,500 nanoseconds 107,913,330 picoseconds and 546,122,275,138.2 femtoseconds. Uranus was confirmed in this book to have 21 moons but Starry Night confirmed Uranus to only having 5 moons. Those 5 moons make the average length of the Uranus month to be 6.04944 days or 6 days 1 hour 11 minutes and 11.616 seconds or 6 days 1 hour 11 minutes 11 seconds and 616 milliseconds or in Uranus time, 8 days 10 hours 7 minutes and 13.98129887004338847769089770064270632729297663518875147915264855333070373 seconds or 8 days 10 hours 7 minutes 13 seconds 981 milliseconds 298,870,043 nanoseconds 388,477,690,897 picoseconds and 700,642,706,327,292.97663518875147915264855333070373 femtoseconds or in Uranus sidereal time, 8 sidereal days 10 sidereal hours 6 sidereal minutes and 57.09883990719257540603248259860788863109048723897911832946635730858468677 sidereal seconds or 8 sidereal days 10 sidereal hours 6 sidereal minutes 57 sidereal seconds 98 sidereal milliseconds 839,907,192 sidereal nanoseconds 575,406,032,482 sidereal picoseconds and 598,607,888,631,090.48723897911832946635730858468677 sidereal femtoseconds. Neptune actually has 8 moons but my Starry Night confirms Neptune to have 2 moons: Triton and Nereid so it's missing the other 6 drastically. The average length of the Neptune month with those 2 moons would be 183.0058 days or 183 days 8 minutes and 21.12 seconds or 183 days 8 minutes 21 seconds and 120 milliseconds or in Neptune time, 272 days 15 hours 8 minutes and 34.45171382105746669811672108353713796228476369008454271207061364849598391 seconds, or 272 days 15 hours 8 minutes 34 seconds 451 milliseconds 713,821,057 nanoseconds 466,698,116,721 picoseconds and 83,537,137,962,284.76369008454271207061364849598391, or in Neptune sidereal time, 272 sidereal days 15 sidereal hours 13sidereal minutes and 26.88268156424581005586592178770949720670391061452513966480446927374301676 sidereal seconds or 272 sidereal days 15 sidereal hours 13 sidereal minutes 26 sidereal seconds 882 sidereal milliseconds 681,564,245 sidereal nanoseconds 810,055,865,921 sidereal picoseconds and 787,709,497,206,703.91061452513966480446927374301676 sidereal femtoseconds. I don't know what its actual average length of lunar month would be nor sidereal month and Pluto is ok, since it only has 1 moon anyway, Charon.Oops! The one with the ... and "or" followed after it, I forgot to put femtoseconds because they count for 1/1000000000000000 of a second but you should realize the mistake yourselves too and know what I mean. moreResolved Question: For all the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, can you tell me their mean distances measured in AU?
I'm trying to use the Orbit Editor to add them in but when I looked at the sites on Wikipedia, they didn't tell me how much AU they were apart from how long they take to orbit their planets. And when it says "mass," is that the same as Absolute magnitude? Because I want everything to be accurate. I use the Near Circular Style and an Ecliptic 1950 Ref Plane, whatever 1950 stands for, when using the Orbit Editor and I want all their moon's distances measured in AU. Example: Io's mean distance from Jupiter is 0.0028193 AU from Jupiter. That's exactly how I want it except for I don't need the information on these following moons because they're already programmed into my Starry Night Pro: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Phoebe. Good luck with the moons that I don't have on there. moreResolved Question: Give me all the names of the moons for Jupiter and Saturn.?
It is said that Jupiter and Saturn have many moons. Regardless of whether it's 39, 40, 51, 61, or 62 it doesn't really matter. I just want to know all about Jupiter's and Saturn's moons so I can use the Orbit Editor on my Starry Night and edit them all in but with correct info first. Starry Night only counts Jupiter to have 4 moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, which are all programmed into there and counts Saturn to have 9 moons: Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Phoebe. But I know that there was some source that told me they had more moons than that. Not only that but after you name them, please tell me their exact mean distance from the planet itself, eccentricity, inclination, ascending node, arg of pericentre, their mean anomaly, and don't worry about the epoch because it'll be at its default set to the number of Julian days it was epoched on or something but I really don't know what the numbers mean if they don't match this Julian day. If someone could tell me what they mean, I'd be glad. Example: Epoch: 2451545 Julian day without the 0's because I took the 4 0's out that were there. I not only need information on all their orbital elements, but I also need information on their axis, rotation, and size. I need someone to tell me their meridian position, rotation rate, how fast they spin, how slow they spin; the rotation rate will count for how many sidereal days they complete in our solar day or 24 hour period, their Pole RA or Pole Radiation, whatever that means. If you know what it means, tell me, their Pole Declination, and Diameter, and then a surface of what they look like or otherwise it'll just be plain. I have programmed other planetoids, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets you couldn't think of and then I had to end up erasing them because I couldn't make things good enough for them. Please help me and I shall use my Orbit Editor today wisely. With this wisdom that I am taking. moreResolved Question: Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus?
Why is there so much interest in Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus? a. Their densities indicate the presence of a molten iron core. b. They are known to have liquid water oceans below their icy crusts. c. Their masses indicate there is a great deal of water present. d. They are non-differentiated conglomerates of a rock-ice mixture. im leaning towards b, but i dont think they have icy crusts and it hasnt been proven yet. right? moreResolved Question: What is the minimum radius of the planet which has 25,000km of its ring can have?
(2) If I said that the surface of Saturn's moon Rhea is about 3.8 billion years old because it has about the same crater density as the highlands of the Earth's Moon. Why might this statement be completely wrong. ?? 1. Rhea may not have been hit by the same population of impactors as the Moon. 2. Crater density has no relation to the age of a planetary surface 3. Saturn's ring have shielded Rhea from all but the largest impacts 4. Rhea is smaller than the Moon and therefore a smaller target Question 3 The gaps in the rings of Saturn are caused by 1. resonances with Jupiter changing the ring particle's orbits 2. volcanic activity from Enceladus expelling the ring particles 3. resonances with moons changing the ring particle's orbits 4. large moon sweeping up ring particles Question 4 Saturn's small moon Mimas is saturated with impact craters. What does saturated mean in this context? 1. The addition of more craters would not change the crater density. 2. Volcanic activity has covered most of the craters. 3. There are no large impact craters. 4. Impacts have released water that has saturated the surface. Question 5 Small worlds in the outer solar system can have similar levels of geological activity as much larger worlds in the inner solar system because: 1. their surface have a stronger solar heating 2. they have more radioactive elements 3. they are made primarily of ice 4. they have higher impact rates from the asteroid belt Question 5 Why do we think that the methane in Titan's atmosphere must be continually replenished from the surface? 1. methane is continually escaping into space 2. methane has a very short lifetime in the atmosphere 3. impacts continually add methane to Titan's surface 4. methane is very rare in a gaseous form moreResolved Question: Calculate the mass of Saturn?
Calculate the mass of Saturn knowing that the moon Enceladus orbits at a distance of 238 020km in 1.370 days. I keep on getting the answer 1.813240892*10^26, but it's wrong.

a) The rotation periods for the Jovian planets -- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune -- are 1 short -- about 10 to 20 hours. very long -- on the order of years because of the sizes. very short -- between 1 and 2 hours. b) How does the composition of Saturn's atmosphere compare to that of Jupiter, which has the same composition as that of the Sun? 2 Saturn's atmosphere contains far more heavy elements than does that of either Jupiter or the Sun. They are almost equivalent, with the same proportions of hydrogen, helium, and heavier elements. Saturn's atmosphere contains less helium than does that of either Jupiter or the Sun. c) The source of excess heat emitted by Jupiter, above that which is absorbed as sunlight and reemitted, is thought to be 3 heat generated in the interior by the same electrical currents that generate the planet's magnetic field. heat caused by friction between oppositely directed winds at mid-latitudes. gravitational potential energy released as heat during its formation stages, still being released. d) The gravitational effect that confines the particles of the F ring of Saturn to a narrow orbit is 4 the gravitational effects of the major moons of Saturn, such as Mimas and Enceladus. major gravitational distortion caused by Jupiter. the gravitational influence of two small shepherding satellites in orbits adjacent to the ring. moreResolved Question: Are you excited about this article?

how does this sound? anything interesting people would like to know besides what I have already? interesting tidbit to share? my piece i'm writing.. I've seen news and pictures of other worlds of our solar system like Io or Enceladus with volcanic seen in space do not recall ones from Earth. Dr. Erik Klemetti is a volcano guy who has the latest on the newest picture from space . Made me think of all the volcanoes you can find around the other planets and their moons. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging Volcanoescan be caused by “mantle plumes”. These so-called “hotspots” , for example at Hawaii, can occur far from plate boundaries. Hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on rocky planets and moons. Enceladus is known to be a frozen world , frozen worlds have plate tectonics ? Enceladus ice tectonics.The frozen moon of Saturn has crusty cracked ice; astronomers have seen the outlines and movement of ice continents . moreResolved Question: Life on Mars... what would it mean for religion?
We now know (fact) that there are emissions of methane gaz on Mars during the red planet's "springtime". Methane, on Earth, is produced at 90% by life forms (microbes) and at 10% due to geological events, usually active volcanoes. Taking in account that Mars is the geological twin of Earth, but that it is "geologically dead", this bodes quite well for the hypothesis of bacterial life on Mars. It should be confirmed around 2012 when the next ground-mission will arrive on the planet. If there is bacterial life on Mars, it would show that Earth isn't the only livable planet in the Solar system. ***Therefor, what would this mean for religion in general?*** ADDITIONAL QUESTION: ...Even worse: thanks to the Cassini spacecraft, it is quite likely that one of the moons of Saturn (Enceladus) is covered by a giant ocean, protected by a thick shield of ice... retaining a small atmosphere containing the same elements as the Earth's atmosphere... Everything kept warm thanks to the gravitational forces of this moon been constantly crushed between Saturn and one of the other moons. Thus, there could also be life there, but under extremely different conditions. Making life a COMMON thing in the universe. ***If life is common in the universe, what will happen to religion?***"Mars alone wouldn't mean much"... WTF?!?!?!?!"Either way, you won't convince a religious person until you show at least two separate instances of life originating." >>Are you for real??? Mars ain't different enough?

Cassini's Cosmic Recordings Double as Sci-Fi Soundtrack By Jenna Wortham November 12, 2007 | 12:07:10 PMCategories: Music, Research, Science, Space Moogs in outer space! Well, almost. NASA recently published several audio recordings collected during the Cassini-Huygens space probe's exploration of the Saturnian system, and it couldn’t sound more like a theremin-laden soundtrack to a 2001: A Space Odyssey sequel. (And yes we know there’s already a sequel, but we mean a good sequel. Sorry, Roy Scheider. We loved you on SeaQuest DSV.). Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions that are generated along with the auroras of the planet's poles -- similar to Earth's northern and southern lights. The eerie whistling, epic whooshing and warbling echoes collected by the probe's instruments sound as though they could have been lifted directly from '50s sci-fi classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space or Forbidden Planet. Here’s a rundown of a few of the spooky recordings, all available for your listening pleasure on the NASA site: A 2005 flyby of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, captured the sound of powerful ion cyclotron waves (organized fluctuations in the magnetic field), providing data about what ions were present in the atmosphere. Radar echoes picked up as the probe descended onto Titan increase in pitch and intensity as the satellite neared the Saturnian moon, hinting at the nature and composition of its surface. Sound samples recorded by Huygen's microphones during that descent were pieced together in a lab to create an audio reproduction of what a traveler would have heard while hurtling through Titan’s atmosphere.

I was just reading about the plumes of water vapour spotted on Enceladus, and reflecting on the origins of water on Earth (cometary bombardment). However, that explanation doesn't seem to fit Europa and Enceladus, as none of the other moons of Saturn and Jupiter seem to have suffered such a bombardment as would be required to cover those two moons with ice. However, both moons seem to fit with the theories on Pluto: a mega-comet. Can anyone point to a theory that explains why Europa and Enceladus are covered in ice but not the other moons? Subsidiary question: If Earth's water came from cometary bombardment, why isn't the moon covered in ice as well? Thanks for the help. moreResolved Question: How possible would it be to make a colony on Enceladus?? Any thoughts?

Nobody is quite sure how such a small moon can have a molten interior that drives the water geysers and volcanoes.
