		However, these moons are especially interesting to scientists studying the rings because they act on the ring particles.
		In the case of Saturn's moons, these provisory names follow the format S/2005-S1, S/2005-S2 etc. Once the existence of the moon is confirmed and its orbit determined, the moon is given a final name by the International Astronomical Union, the organization that since 1919 assumed this task.
		In the case of Saturn, moons are named after Saturn's brothers, the Titans, and Saturn's sisters, the Titanesses.

		Moons orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde orbits (regular satellites) are believed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Most regular moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries, meaning that one side of the moon is always turned toward the planet.
		In addition to the moons of the various planets there are also over 80 known moons of the dwarf planets, asteroids and other small solar system bodies.

		Mercury and Venus have no moons at all, Earth has one large moon, Mars has two tiny moons, and Pluto a large companion called Charon (sometimes considered to be a double planet).
		Several moons are thought to be captured foreign objects, fragments of larger moons shattered by large impacts, or (in the case of Earth's Moon) a portion of the planet itself blasted into orbit by a large impact.
		Most moons in the solar system are tidally locked to their primaries; an exception is Saturns moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences.

		Iapetus), and is substantially larger than any of the other moons orbiting planets at comparable distances.
		Debris from the biggest impacts may have been the building blocks of the other moons of Phoebe's group—all of which are less than 10 km in diameter.
		By a stroke of good luck, Phoebe happened to be in the best part of its orbit to be photographed by the incoming Cassini probe, which otherwise would not likely have returned pictures much better than Voyager due to Phoebe's distance from Saturn.

		The Moon is one of the larger natural satellites with a diameter of 2,160 miles.
		The moons are 120,000 miles and 131,000 miles from the center of planet Saturn between the moons Mimas and Enceladus.
		The smallest moon is Deimos, at Mars, only seven miles in diameter, although its size now is rivaled by the small shepherd moons discovered by Cassini at Saturn and by others yet to be counted and named in the rings around Jupiter, Saturn and other giant gas planets in the outer Solar System.

	On This and Other Moons
		If the sizes of the moons are expressed relative to their primary (the planet they orbit) there are still more surprises.
		Being close to Jupiter (it is the innermost of the Galilean moons) the planet's massive gravity stretches the moon by some 100m and locks its rotation so the same side always faces the planet.
		When it was discovered in 1978 it was realised that images previously thought to be of just Pluto had actually represented both the planet and its huge moon, and estimates of the planet's size had to be revised downwards.

		Mundilfari A Norse Giant who angered the gods by naming his beautiful children Mani (moon) and Sol (sun); the children were then forced to guide the chariots of their namesakes.
		Albiorix Means "king of the world," and is another name for the ancient Gallic god Teutates.
		All of Uranus's moons are named for Shakespeare characters, which is too bad, because there were plenty of Titans and monsters associated with him that could have been used.

		Because Mimas has such a low temperature of about -200° C (-328°F), the impact features may date back to the time of the moon's creation.
		One of the craters, named Herschel, is surprisingly large in comparison to the size of the moon.
		This impact probably came close to disintegrating the moon.

		Moons orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde orbits (regular satellites) are generally believed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of the protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
		Christiaan Huygens, the discoverer of Titan, was the first to use the term moon for such objects, calling Titan Luna Saturni or Luna Saturnia â“ "Saturn's moon" or "The Saturnian moon", because it stood in the same relation to Saturn as the Moon did to the Earth.
		As a consequence of this shift in meaning, the term moon, which had continued to be used in a generic sense in works of popular science and in fiction, has regained respectability and is now used interchangeably with satellite, even in scientific articles.

	The Library - Astronomy - Saturn
		Saturn's ring system is the most extensive and complex in our solar system; it extends hundreds of thousands of kilometers from the planet.
		In the early 1980s, NASA's two Voyager spacecraft revealed that Saturn's rings are made mostly of water ice, and they found "braided" rings, ringlets, and "spokes" - dark features in the rings that seem to circle the planet at a different rate from that of the surrounding ring material.
		Further study of this moon promises to reveal much about planetary formation and, perhaps, about the early days of Earth as well.
