Lecture 40: The Saturn System

Lecture 40: The Saturn System
Saturn is attended by a system of 56 known moons and bright, beautiful rings. The Moon system is the focus of our attention today. Saturn has one giant moon, Titan, which is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, and the only one with a heavy atmosphere. On Titan, the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and methane, but the temperature and pressure are such that methane plays the same role that water plays on the Earth: it can be either a solid, gas, or liquid. I will review tantalizing evidence from the Cassini and Huygens probes that there is, in fact, liquid methane and maybe even liquid methane lakes on Titan. Most of the other moons are ancient, icy, and heavily cratered - geologically dead worlds - but one, Enceladus, is a big surprise. The shiniest object in the Solar System, Enceladus has spectacular fountains - cryovolcanos - that spew water vapor from reservoirs created in its tidally-heated interior. This ice repaves much of the surface of Enceladus, giving it a young, shiny surface, and builds the E ring of Saturn. Recorded 2006 Nov 21 in 100 Stillman Hall on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
