	Natural satellite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

	Suttungr (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suttungr (soot'-oong-ər, IPA: [ˈsʊtʊŋr̩]), or Saturn XXIII, is a natural satellite of Saturn.
		Suttungr is about 5.6 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 19,667 Mm in 1029.703 days, at an inclination of 174° to the ecliptic (159° to Saturn's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.131.
		Suttungr may have formed from debris knocked off of Phoebe at some point in the past.

	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.

	Saturn K-12 Background Information for Lesson Plans & Science Fair Projects
		One theory, originally proposed by Ãdouard Roche in the 19th century, is that the rings were once a moon of Saturn whose orbit decayed until it came close enough to be ripped apart by tidal forces (see Roche limit).
		A variation of this theory is that the moon disintegrated after being struck by a large comet or asteroid.
		Due to the tidal forces of Saturn, the moons are currently not at the same position as they were when they were first formed (for a timeline of discovery dates, see Timeline of natural satellites).

		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.

	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 that are further away from the Sun tend to have more ice than moons that are closer to the Sun.
		Our Moon and the moons of Mars have no ice at all (except perhaps in deep craters near the poles), but the moon Europa of Jupiter has a layer of ice that is many kilometers thick.
		Moons and planets are formed from numerous large and small fragments that collide with each other and sometimes partially stick together.

	The Moons of the Solar System — Suttungr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The moon of Saturn –; Suttungr (XXIII) – was previously temporarily designated as S/2000 S12.
		Suttungr is one of the new satellites of Saturn discovered after the long period of 19 years that came after the →Voyager-2 fly-by (1981).
		The moon by this name is in elliptical retrograde orbit (→eccentricity e = 0.114) with a →semimajor axis a = 19,463,000 km.

	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.

	Saturn's Moons
		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.

		Trojan Moons are not named so much for their relationship to Troy, but rather take their name from the unique mathematical nature of their orbits in relation to one another.
		This group consists of a cluster of five outer moons far enough away from Saturn in both their orbits and orbital inclinations to be considered a distinct group.
		This group of eighteen outer moons is like the Inuit group in that it is classified as a distinct cluster of outer moons.

	Epimetheus (moon)
		Astronomers assumed that there was only one body in that orbit, and accordingly had a hard time figuring out their orbital characteristics; it is obviously impossible to reconcile the observations of two distinct objects as a single object.
		Since closer orbits have higher velocities the two moons must inevitably approach each other, and since Epimetheus' diameter is 115 km and Janus' is 178 km it would seem at first glance that a collision is also inevitable.
		But as the inner moon catches up with the outer moon their mutual gravitational attraction boosts the inner moon's momentum and raises its orbit, causing it to slow down.

		They besought Suttungr to grant them respite of their lives, and as the price of reconciliation offered him the precious mead in satisfaction of his father's death.
		Suttungr carried the mead home and concealed it in the place called Hnitbjörg, placing his daughter Gunnlöd there to watch over it.
		Nevertheless he came so near to being caught by Suttungr that he sent some mead backwards, and no heed was taken of this: whosoever would might have that, and we call that the poetaster's part.[1] But Odin gave the mead of Suttungr to the Æsir and to those men who possess the ability to compose.

		Among the discoveries made by the Voyager probes was a magnetosphere (a region of charged particles consisting primarily of electrons, protons, and heavy ions captured partly from the atmosphere of the satellite Titan) that encloses 13 of Saturn's satellites and its ring system.
		The outer F ring was found to contain braids, knots, and strands, possibly caused by nearby moons that shepherd it, that is, limit the extent of a planetary ring through gravitational forces.
		Almost all of Saturn's inner moons form a regular system of satellites; that is, their orbits are nearly circular and lie in the equatorial plane of the planet; almost all of the outer moons' orbits are inclined.
