The Saturnian System

Our next stop brings us to one of the most spectacular sights in the Solar System. The sixth planet is a large bright gas giant surrounded by thousands of glistening rings. As we get closer to the planet, we can see even more rings. There are rings and there are rings inside rings. Surrounding this stunning beauty are 31 moons ranging from the tiny, to the truly gigantic. Seven of these natural satellites are large enough to be of interest. This is the planet Saturn and its system of moons.
