	Mundilfari (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mundilfari is about 5.6 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 18,360 Mm in 928.806 days, at an inclination of 170° to the ecliptic (157° to Saturn's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.198.
		Mundilfari may have formed from debris knocked off of Phoebe by large impacts at some point in the solar system's history.
		Its name comes from Norse mythology, where Mundilfari is a Jotun or giant who is the father of the goddess Sol and the god Mani.

		Several moons are thought to be captured asteroids; others may be fragments of larger moons shattered by 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, 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).

		In Chinese astrology the moon is identified with the feminine - the yin.
		In Chinese culture, the sun and the moon, or yang and yin, are said to represent the masculine and the feminine, respectively.
		The words 'lunacy," "lunatic," and "loony" are derived from Luna because of the folk belief in the moon as a cause of periodic insanity.

	Miscellaneous Moon Myths
		Moon governs the journeying of the moon and decides the time of its waxing and waning.
		And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.
		The water became troubled, the reaction of the moon disappeared, the branch broke, and all the monkeys fell into the well and were disagreeably damaged.

	Communiqué from the Cult of Mani: Lore & Scholarship
		The moon reflects the sun's energy to us and causes the tides, which can be a source of energy on their own.
		It is through the moon's phases--that is, its birth, death, and resurrection--that men came to know at once their own mode of being in the cosmos and the chances for their survival or rebirth.
		We may even speak of a metaphysics of the moon, in the sense of a consistent system of "truths" relating to the mode of being peculiar to living creatures, to everything in the cosmos that shares in life, that is, in becoming, growth and waning, death and resurrection.

	Mani: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Mani
		In Norse mythology, Mani was the god of the moon and a son of Mundilfari and Glaur.
		Mani is unusual because lunar deities tend to be female, nearly universally, probably because of the connection between menstruation and the phases of the moon.
		Mani kidnapped them; they can be seen (along with their cask and pole) on the face of the moon (craters).

		Every month the moon reaches round prosperity, but the sun's knife then cuts away pieces until finally only a tiny piece is left, which the moon pleads should be left for his children.
		Among the Baronga each moon is regarded as a new birth after the death of the old one.
		At the appearance of the new moon, recently born children (third month) are "shown their moon." The mother flings a burning stick toward the moon as the grandmother tosses the child in the air, crying "This is your moon!" The baby is then made to roll over in the ashes.

	Phoebe (moon) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Phoebe (fee'-bee, Greek Φοίβη) is a moon of Saturn.
		The outer moons can be broken down into two groups: Siarnaq's group (Kiviuq, Ijiraq, Paaliaq, Albiorix, Erriapo, Siarnaq and Tarvos) is inclined 33.5-46.5° whilst Phoebe's group (Phoebe, Skathi, Narvi, Mundilfari, Suttungr, Thrymr and Ymir) is retrograde and inclined 134.5-175.5°.
		Both groups are fairly to highly eccentric, and none of their moons are expected to rotate synchronously as all the inner moons of Saturn do (except for Hyperion).

	Saturn's Ring and Moon Dynamics
		When the inner moon has passed conjunction, it is slowed and the outer one speeded, restoring the original orbits.
		Eventually, the two moons will become large enough by soft impacts from stray F-ring particles to both start orbiting one another or soft impact and become one body.
		One intriguing aspect of Saturn's retinue of moons is the three groups of co-orbitals with nearly identical or identical orbital periods.

		A variation of this theory is that the moon disintegrated after being struck by a large comet or asteroid.
		The precise number of Saturn's moons will never be certain as the orbiting chunks of ice in Saturn's rings are all technically moons, and it is difficult to draw a distinction between a large ring particle and a tiny moon.
		They are moons that orbit at exactly the same distance from Saturn as another moon, but at such a distance from the other moon that they never collide.

		The moons are 120,000 miles and 131,000 miles from the center of planet Saturn between the moons Mimas and Enceladus.
		The moon may be responsible for the emptiness of the so-called Cassini division between rings.

	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.
		But nearby moons Europa and Ganymede peturb it when they pass, making the tidal bulges shift and heating the Io's interior with the friction of the flexing.

	The Moons of the Solar System — Thrymr
		The moon of Saturn – Thrymr (XXX) – was previously temporarily designated as S/2000 S7.
		The moon by this name is in elliptical retrograde orbit (→eccentricity e = 0.470) with a →semimajor axis a = 20,382,000 km.
		When this motion was detected and compared to the changes in Saturn's position, this body was classified as a true planetary satellite (and not a distant celestial body with its position projected near the planet).

		This small correction manoeuvre of about 4 hours was necessary to correct the slight over-performance of the engine during the last long burn of 100 hours (10-14 October) during the 'third resonance".
		It can be seen now the huge effect of the combination of the operations of the electric propulsion together with the last Moon encounter have on the orbit expansion.
		The moon effects is now mainly in the increase of the perigee altitude, in the rotation of the line of apsides (change in argument of perigee) and in the orbital inclination.

		The long spiralling orbit around Earth, which is bringing the spacecraft closer and closer to the Moon, is needed for the ion engine to function and be tested over a distance comparable to that a spacecraft would travel during a possible interplanetary trip.
		The same thrust will allow the spacecraft to progressively fall into the natural sphere of attraction of the Moon and start orbiting around it from 13 November, when it is 60 000 kilometres from the lunar surface.
		After that it will continue orbiting around the Moon in smaller loops until it reaches its final operational orbit (spanning between 3000 and 300 kilometres over the Moon's poles) in mid-January 2005.

		Sol and Mani, in Norse mythology, the sun and moon, or more precisely, the beings who drove the sun and moon in their courses through the sky.
		For some reason the gods became angry at Sol and Mani, or at their father, Mundilfari, and they took the two to guide the sun and moon in their paths.
