	Siarnaq (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Siarnaq (see'-ar-naak, IPA /ˈsiːɑrnɑk/), or Saturn XXIX, is a prograde irregular satellite of Saturn.
		Siarnaq is about 32 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 17,906 Mm in 894.542 days, at an inclination of 46° to the ecliptic (60° to Saturn's equator), and with an eccentricity of 0.479.
		Named after the giant Siarnaq (also known as Sedna) in Inuit mythology, it is a member of the Inuit group of irregular satellites.

	Saturn's natural satellites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moons massive enough for their surfaces to have collapsed into a spheroid are highlighted in light purple.
		The Inuit group are five prograde outer moons that are similar enough in their distances from Saturn and their orbital inclinations that they can be considered a group.
		The Norse group are 18 retrograde outer moons that are similar enough in their distance from Saturn to be considered a group.

	Natural satellite - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		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 Saturn's moon Hyperion, which rotates chaotically due to a variety of external influences.

	Phoebe (moon) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Phoebe (fee'-bee, IPA /ˈfiːbi/, 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).

	Iapetus (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because of this distant, inclined orbit, Iapetus is the only large moon from which the rings of Saturn would be clearly visible; from the other inner moons, the rings would be edge-on and difficult to see.
		The dark material might be formed of organic compounds similar to the substances found in primitive meteorites or on the surfaces of comets; Earth-based observations have shown it to be carbonaceous and it probably includes cyano-compounds such as frozen hydrogen cyanide polymers.
		A dark ring of material about 100 kilometers in diameter straddling the border between the leading and trailing hemispheres of Iapetus is suggestive of such vulcanism, resembling structures that have formed on the Moon and on Mars as a result of volcanic material flowing into impact craters with a central peak.

	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.

	Titan (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is roughly 50% larger than our own moon by diameter, and is larger by diameter and mass than all known dwarf planets.
		Titan's diameter and mass (and thus its density) are similar to Jovian moons Ganymede and Callisto.
		Though similar in composition to Rhea and the rest of Saturn's moons, it is denser due to gravitational compression.

		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.

		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 addition to the moons of the various planets there are also over 80 known moons of the asteroids and other minor planets.

		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.

		Due to the tidal forces acting on it, the moon is not perfectly spherical; its longest axis is about 10% longer than the shortest.
		Herschel's diameter is almost a third of the moon's own diameter; its walls are approximately 5 km high, parts of its floor measure 10 km deep, and its central peak rises 6 km above the crater floor.
		Mimas is responsible for clearing the material from the Cassini Division, the gap between Saturn's two widest rings, A Ring and B Ring.

		When the inner moon has passed conjunction, it is slowed and the outer one speeded, restoring the original orbits.

		The phase locking actions of the four are responsible for the trio of objects in Tethys' orbit.

		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).

	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.
