  Calypso (moon) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Calypso (kə-lip'-soe, IPA /kəˈlɪpso/, Greek Καλυψώ) is a moon of Saturn.
The moon Telesto resides in Tethys' leading Lagrangian point, 60 degrees ahead of Tethys.
Like many other small Saturnian moons and small asteroids it is irregularly shaped by overlapping large craters and appears to also have loose surface material capable of smoothing the appearance of craters.

 Narvi (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Narvi (nar'-vee, IPA: [ˈnɑrvi]), or Saturn XXXI, is a natural satellite of Saturn.
Narvi is about 6.6 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 19,371,000 km in 1006.541 days, at an inclination of 137° to the ecliptic (118° to Saturn's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.320.
It is named after Narvi from Norse mythology, also known as Narfi or Nari, a son of Loki by Sigyn who was killed to punish Loki for his crimes.

 Natural satellite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Most moons are assumed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of protoplanetary disk that gave rise to its primary.
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.

 Twelve New Moons for Saturn - Planetary News | The Planetary Society
But astronomers at the University of Hawaii have followed up on many previous moon discoveries with a dozen new satellites at Saturn, bringing the total count to 49 (although the status of three of the new moons identified by Cassini is in doubt).
In fact, the identification of three of them as moons is not yet certain; they could have just been transient clumps in the rings, long-lived enough for Cassini to spot them in a sequence of ring images, but dissipating later.
Four are tiny bodies that accompany larger moons in their orbits, sitting in dynamically stable "Lagrange points" 60 degrees ahead of or behind the bigger moons.

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.
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.

Narvi shuddered against the nipping winds as she opened her cape to show that her hand rested on her axe, then bowed to the gatekeepers.
Narvi was comfortably full, sitting off to the side of the Hall with her feet on a small stool, smoking her pipe with her eyes mostly shut when a voice above her head startled her out of drowsiness.
Narvi experienced a shock of pure terror as she grasped for her tunic, adrenaline rushing through her until she patted herself and discovered she was still fully clothed.

Unlike most major moons orbiting Saturn, Phoebe is very dark and reflects only 6 percent of the sunlight it receives.
Phoebe's darkness, in particular, suggests that the small moon comes from the outer solar system, an area where there is plenty of dark material.
She was the youthful goddess of Earth's Moon, forests, wild animals and hunting.

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.

Most of the moons, which are small, were probably captured asteroids, and did not form with Saturn.
Scientists think that these two moons were once part of a single moon that was later blasted apart.
This is a unique moon because it has a huge crater that covers fully one quarter of its entire surface.

Narvi had been unable to do more than watch in bewildered silence as the Elf-Lord had traced the curved lines with his fingers - even the shoddy top-right whorls that had given him such trouble - his bright face solemn and still.
When Narvi had finally slept that night, after long hours of restlessness, his dreams had been disturbing, haunted by the pale, unfamiliar face and the touch of that hand in his, as the Elf-Lord had pulled him to his feet.
It was not Dwarvish habit to apply the concept of beauty to living things, but for an instant Narvi saw him through a stone-mason's eyes, and registered the symmetry of the long body, the fineness and delicacy of the lines of the face, the flawless texture of the pale, even-coloured skin.

Saturn's rings probably formed when a small moon or a comet passed close to Saturn and was pulled apart by the planet's gravity.
A planet's gravity pulls more strongly on the side of a moon that is facing it than on the side that is away from it.
If a moon passes too close to its parent planet, this difference, called tidal gravity, pulls it apart, turning the moon into cosmic rubble.

Narvi watched him for a moment as he located the mechanism, starting unreasonably as he felt a hand catch his wrist.
He wanted to pull Narvi aside, explain to him that he had not been one of those tormenting him, that he would never wish to hurt him, but he could hardly do that.
Narvi had avoided him since; had avoided speaking with him, meeting his eye, had avoided above all being left alone with him; and his body languague had spoken unease and awkwardness in Celebrimbor's presence.

Remember in the popular presentation of this mythology, Narvi is a son of Loki, and the phrase "nipt Nera," and its variations ("Narvi's kinswoman") is taken to mean Loki's daughter whom Snorri calls Hel.
As in the Elder Edda, Hel is conceived of as death personified.

Mercury (planet) and Venus (planet) have no moons at all, Earth has one large moon, Mars (planet) has two tiny moons, and Pluto (planet) a large companion called Charon (moon) (sometimes considered to be a double planet).
Most moons in the solar system are tidal locking to their primaries, an exception is Saturn (planet)s moon Hyperion (moon), which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences.
The largest moons in the solar system (those bigger than about 3000 km across) are Earths Moon, Jupiter (planet)s Galilean moons Io (moon), Europa (moon), Ganymede (moon), and Callisto (moon), Saturn (planet)s moon Titan (moon), and Neptune (planet)s captured moon Triton (moon).
