Saturnus har 31 k\u00e4nda m\u00e5nar \u2013 fler \u00e4n n\u00e5gon annan planet utom Jupiter. En av dem, Titan, \u00e4r lika stor som en planet, men de \u00f6vriga \u00e4r betydligt mindre. De flesta m\u00e5narna best\u00e5r av is och \u00e4r t\u00e4ckta av m\u00e5nga runda kratrar i olika storlekar. Dessa har bildats n\u00e4r kometer och steniga meteoriter kraschat in i dem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tethys har en enorm krater med en topp i mitten, vilket g\u00f6r att den ser ut som \u2018D\u00f6dsstj\u00e4rnan\u2019 i Star Wars-filmerna. \u00c4ven Mimas har en gigantisk krater med en diameter p\u00e5 flera hundra kilometer.<\/p>\n

\u00c4ven om ytorna \u00e4r extremt kalla verkar vissa av m\u00e5narna vara varma inuti. Delar av m\u00e5nen Enceladus \u00e4r sl\u00e4ta och verkar ha t\u00e4ckts av material som slungats ut fr\u00e5n isvulkaner.<\/p>\n

\"Iapetus:
Iapetus: ljus och m\u00f6rker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

En annan m\u00e4rklig v\u00e4rld \u00e4r Iapetus. Den har en sida som \u00e4r mycket ljus, men den motsatta sidan \u00e4r svartare \u00e4n kol. De mindre m\u00e5narna kretsar antingen mycket n\u00e4ra ringarna eller l\u00e5ngt bort fr\u00e5n planeten. De mest avl\u00e4gset bel\u00e4gna m\u00e5narna beter sig som berusade f\u00f6rare som k\u00f6r i fel riktning p\u00e5 en enkelriktad gata. Man tror att de har kommit f\u00f6r n\u00e4ra Saturnus och f\u00e5ngats in av dess kraftfulla gravitation.<\/p>\n

N\u00e5gra av de mindre m\u00e5narna kretsar inuti ringarna. De fungerar som \u2018herdar\u2019 och h\u00e5ller ringpartiklarna p\u00e5 plats. Tv\u00e5 av dem byter till och med bana n\u00e4r den ena hinner ikapp den andra.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
