unusual facts about Saturn’s Rings Phenomenon



Alive II

Baraita of Samuel

The seventh chapter mentions the exact distances of the planets from the Earth: the moon is considered the nearest; Saturn, the most distant.

Barnaba Oriani

In 1789, Oriani improved his calculations by accounting for the gravitational effects of Jupiter and Saturn.

Burn:Cycle

The coupling of this with CD-i's technological limits have led some commentators to lament the fact that this was not a game made two years later, when arguably 3D had its true birth (given the rise of PlayStation and Saturn in that year).

Chevrolet Lumina APV

Assembled in the now defunct North Tarrytown Assembly, these U-body vans consisted of a galvanized steel spaceframe wrapped in composite plastic body panels that were impervious to rust and minor dents and dings, a manufacturing technique developed on the Pontiac Fiero and used extensively on General Motors' Saturn line of vehicles.

Cybertron

Cybertron is described in the first issue of the Marvel comic book as being the size of Saturn, which would logically mean it possessed incredibly dense gravity, and yet it did not, possibly as a result of its hollow structure, honeycombed as it is by tunnels.

Enigmo

The game takes place in outer space, specifically near Earth, Mars, Saturn, and asteroids, but gravity functions as it would on earth.

Epigenes of Byzantium

It is unclear when Epigenes lived - he may have lived about the time of Augustus; some conjecture that he lived centuries earlier - but he is known to have refined the study of his chosen field, defining Saturn, for example, as "cold and windy." Along with Apollonius of Myndus and Artemidorus of Parium, he boasted of having been instructed by the Chaldean priest-astrologers, many of whom infiltrated Greece when the ports of Egypt opened to Greek ships after 640 BC.

Gregory Webster

Soon after he was the main protagonist in Saturn V. In 1997 he founded Sportique, his present band, with Mark Flunder and Rob Pursey.

Henchir Kssiba

The exact name of the ancient city remained unknown until 1917 where the finding of an official inscription commemorating the building of a temple to Saturn, helped prove that this city was the "Civitas Popthensis".

Henri Cassini

He was also the great-great-grandson of famous Italian-French astronomer, Giovanni Domenico Cassini, discoverer of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and the Cassini division in Saturn's rings.

Herne Bay High School

Hyper Duel

The Saturn tracks were remastered and packaged with several new arranges, as well a Thunder Force III arrange.

Recorded in 1959 at El Saturn Studio, Chicago, the album is one of three records that the Arkestra released in the 1950s - the other two being Jazz by Sun Ra and Super-Sonic Jazz.

Joseph Epping

He discovered the table of differences for the new moon in one of the tablets, and identified Guttu with Mars, Sakku with Saturn, and Te-ut with Jupiter (Epping and Strassmaier in Stimmen aus Maria-Laach, vol. 21, pp. 277–292).

Kaleidoscope Century

By the time One True consolidated its hold on the people of Earth, Mars, the Jupiter and Saturn systems had been colonized for decades.

Mexico, Missouri

In the 1980s, Mexico was one of six nationwide finalists for Saturn's new U.S. auto plant.

The Miliarium Aureum seems to have been a marble column sheathed in gilded bronze: according to C. Hülsen, in 1835 a huge marble cylinder was found near the Temple of Saturn and it still had bronze hooks.

Mount Phoebe

Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) from association with Saturn Glacier after Phoebe, one of the satellites of the planet Saturn, the sixth planet of the Solar System.

Namosh

Namosh also played a role in the film Saturn Returns of Lior Shamriz.

NV1

Several Saturn games were converted to NV1 on the PC such as Panzer Dragoon and Virtua Fighter Remix.

Oblate spheroid

The oblate spheroid is the approximate shape of many planets and celestial bodies, including Saturn and Altair;

Orbit Jet

It often flew from Earth to inhabited moons of Jupiter and Saturn, which it seemed to reach in hours or days of time within the story.

Order of magnitude

For example, the mass of the planet Saturn is 95 times that of Earth, so Saturn is two orders of magnitude more massive than Earth.

Paul Wittich

Renowned anti-Copernican adherents of the Capellan planetary model included Francis Bacon, inter alia, and this model appealed to those who accepted Ptolemy's purely geocentric model was refuted by the phases of Venus, but were unpersuaded by Tychonic arguments that Mars, Jupiter and Saturn also orbited the Sun in addition to Mercury and Venus.

Polar vortex

Saturn's south pole is the only known hot polar vortex in the solar system.

Saturn-Shuttle

But because of the need to keep costs down and to allow President Richard Nixon to approve the shuttle program in 1972, NASA decided to utilize segmented solid rocket boosters similar to those used on the Titan III rocket instead of the S-IC, thus ending the Saturn program after the initial Saturn V order was completed.

Seasonal lag

The gas giants Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, as well as Saturn's moon Titan, all have substantial seasonal lags corresponding to the equivalent of between two and three months in Earth terms.

Self-competition

The big three automakers, Ford eventually discontinued Mercury, GM discontinued Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Saturn because models from these makes were largely redundant to Chevrolet and Buick.

St Mark's Clock

The relative positions of five planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury) were shown, as were the moon's phases and the position of the Sun in the zodiac.

Stellar parallax

It is clear from Euclid's geometry that the effect would be undetectable if the stars were far enough away, but for various reasons such gigantic distances involved seemed entirely implausible: it was one of Tycho Brahe's principal objections to Copernican heliocentrism that in order for it to be compatible with the lack of observable stellar parallax, there would have to be an enormous and unlikely void between the orbit of Saturn and the eighth sphere (the fixed stars).

The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum

The game takes place in a parallel continuum during the year 2577 on Saturn's moon, Titan.

Titan Empire

A militant government originating from a settlement on Saturn's moon Titan have started attacking neighboring moons and planets and taking over their government, similar to the expanse of Germany and the Nazi party during World War II.
