    SATURN

    DISCRIPTION

    Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and


    the second largest planet in our solar
    system. Adorned with a dazzling system
    of icy rings, Saturn is unique among the
    planets. It is not the only planet to have
    rings, but none are as spectacular or as
    complex as Saturn’s. Like fellow gas
    giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball
    made mostly of hydrogen and helium.

    DISCRIPTION

    Surrounded by more than 60 known


    moons, Saturn is home to some of the
    most fascinating landscapes in our solar
    system. From the jets of water that spray
    from Encaladius to the methane lakes on
    smoggy Titan, the Saturn system is a rich
    source of scientific discovery and still
    holds many mysteries.

    The furthest planet from Earth discovered


    by the unaided human eye, Saturn has
    been known since ancient times. The
    planet is named for the Roman god of
    agriculture and wealth, who was also the
    father of Jupiter.
