What They Didn't Teach You in School about Saturn | 4K

Am I the only one who was taught nothing about the planets other than their names and their order in public school (USA) growing up? I would have loved to learn anything about space in school. I grew up in the 90's where you pretty much take the same standardized tests over and over again from k-12. Mind numbing.

[@lacylaizure6540]

Nope, I'm with you.

[@ImHighOnPropain]

I know right! I didn't even know about Ceres until watching Astrum. And the fact that ganymede is larger than mercury is crazy. I didn't even know that the bright "stars" in the sky were actually planets.

[@joseph-mariopelerin7028]

The only reason I hear that in school, it's because my teacher was a hippie and didn't care about the program... lots of new stuff here they didn't know even 10 years ago

[@avo616]

Yeah only names nothin else

Honestly i can’t remember what i was taught in school since I’ve learned so much after I was done schooling. I hated school because it was so boring.

Seeing Saturn's right for the first time through a telescope was breath taking. It is my favorite party trick to bring out my telescope and show people the beautiful rings of Saturn.

[@claydice91]

Can I ask if I were to get a telescope specifically to see Jupiter or Saturn, what magnification would I need to be able to do that? I’ve started really getting into space especially showing my young children and I want to get a hood telescope that can see further than the moon.

[@rodrigorosatoalves]

Yes, it may be unscientific to be grateful for coexisting with Saturn’s rings. However mentioning it is in my mind very appropriate. A few hundred million years in the solar system’s history is a heartbeat in cosmic time, yet we were blessed with the privilege of enjoying such a masterpiece of nature. Thank you, universe.

[@MaverickBlue42]

The rings are less like tree rings, and more like a vinyl record of past interactions, the whole spiral pattern and all. I remember when Cassini-Huygens was launched, and following it at work during downtime on physorg and sciencedaily(I was doing tech support for an ISP). Used to be a new article up every few months, kinda like with JWST nowadays.

Replace Saturn with the sun and it's moon system for the solar system and this is how Earth and the other planets were formed. In ancient times they would say, "As above, so below" meaning all things seen on earth also happen in space on a larger scale. In modern times we would call this Fractal Theory.

I learned nuthin about the solar system in school either so I read 1,000 sci-fi books, plus textbooks, on stars & space, etc, & boy did I get teased. When my 8th grade science teacher asked did anyone know the speed of light, I knew I should stay quiet but couldn't help myself, raised my hand & answered, & that just cemented my rep as a "bookworm". I mean, I thought it was common knowledge!

Meanwhile ground & space scope programs are being scrapped before they're built, or allowed to die from lack of maintenance. I know money's tight but we're talking a drop in the universe, cash-wise.

Can you imagine how thin saturn’s rings are? The thickest is about two kilometers. So imagine if the rings are as thin as a page on a book then saturn will be a 60,000 page book.

The most beautiful planet. I do not care about the moons, i would have loved to see a FPV of a probe descending into to. All the other FPVs we have seen so far are for Earth-like planets or smaller. What it means to be a 100 times larger planet than Earth, how does the horizon look like etc. Another beautiful thing is that we can see the formation of our sun and every other star in this planet (and jupiter) due to that glow you mentioned. How crazy that, saturn with its rings is visible even on a superzoom digital camera.

What’s the center consist of?

[@ResurrectedElvenMonk]

@reese1472 It's where our core lies, which is made of mostly water, ice and Rocky materials. But the UV radiation surrounding it can seriously burn you on a deadly level within seconds, even space suits have a difficult time managing against it.

[@BrentHasty]

28 minutes in, how does Saturn have such a Big magnetic field? It is all the dust in the ring disk interacting with the solar wind creating a giant Faraday disc motor out of the whole Saturn system.

[@bethanygee6939]

Respectfully, I don't think that's right. I thought it was because of a dynamo created by the liquid metallic hydrogen at the planet's core. The totality of the rings isn't that much material. It's far less than our moon. It's a cool theory, though.

[@jp27whodey31]

Exposing all the citizens of Saturn to radiation was unacceptable.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Saturn's ring are sensitive to gravitational changes, isn't it way more logical to send a ring-scanner to Saturn, than making a LIGO on Earth that's mere few km's.

[@TrueRetroflection]

Saturn seems to be a microcosm of a spiral galaxy's mechanics. If my comparison isn't too off-base, I wonder if the non-solar aurorae are a buildup of gamma radiation, like that of a quasar's jets? I'm not saying for sure that Saturn's core contains a tiny black hole, but there might be enough oddities to make it a nonzero possibility

Maybe we should set up wind turbines on saturn😮

[@Bassmasterwitacaster]

Wind turbines on earth are already very expensive to make and takes a while to make that money back from what energy they produce. They also require routine maintenance and requires people there to get them anchored into the ground. They're also very large and would need a lot of them, so it would take a lot to send them over with rockets. And they would be exposed to way harsher conditions than our on earth, so would have to be over engineered, making them way more expensive than ours. Then you have to figure out how to send the power they produce back to earth. Then there's also the fact we don't lack room for more on earth, it's way easier to just set them up on earth
