- When we look across the solar system hundreds of fascinating moons can be observed. The gas giant planet Saturn is the king of the moons, with over 146 known to be orbiting it. But it turns out, that within the rings of Saturn, new objects are forming, and there could be millions of them! So what caused Saturn's rings in the first place? What is causing the formation of these new worlds? and will they ever become one single large moon in the future?

How incredible are these new worlds being formed in our solar system? Thanks for watching! I’ll see you all next time. 😊 Rob
Yes most definitely Rob I & along with countless others look forward to them all.
I often sit out back watch the stars with my binoculars watching the planets wondering which is which & love to play same background music as your videos that makes watching all the more enjoyable, thanks again
Thanks for your amazing videos. Cheers! 👏🇬🇹
Hi Rob!! I'm stuck staring at Pan and Atlas...wondering why this hexagonal shape is happening.. !??! Are they both in the same orientation as Saturn's poles where the jet streams take this form?
This is the only channel that i will watch when if comes to space content. I LOVE space and i love all of these vids.
this and 'Sea' channel
The hexagonal spot is so trippy! Enjoyed the vid thanks Rob 🪐🔭
Hell yes I enjoyed this video. I just never thought about the possibility of there being tiny miniature moons within Saturn's rings. This is awesome
Are you ever gonna talk about part 2 of our journey into the Kuiper belt with the 4 other dwarf planets ( Orcus, Sedna, GongGong, and Quaror) you talked about the first 5 dwarf planets we need to see part 2
The riveting photographs and illustrations you use make every video a grand adventure. Thanks!
Great upload at the right time. Good evening from the UK V101! And all my fellow space fans 👋🏻
Rob many thanks for this absolutely beautiful documentary of one of my favourite planets Saturn. Love your videos & the background music of which I love to get so when I'm out back watching the stars I play it .
Again thanks
Cheers from Australia
What confuses me about the theory that rings form from colliding moons is that I would expect the cores of the colliding moons to remain in orbit and even serve as an accretion object for the rings to coalesce again. Might some of the current Saturnian moons be the core remnant from that collision?
Also since moons generally orbit in the same direction, is it not the case that any impact is likely to be low speed surface-graze rather than a high speed moon-shattering impact? Given the above, wouldn't a moon destroying impact require a high speed collision with a non-orbiting object such as a comet?
Awesome channel as always say
Great video, love your content!
Beautiful ring ❤
The outer planets are my favorites n there moons... absolutely love ur channel rob..👌👍💙
Awesome Video
Saturn's rings will be edge on pretty soon. Great for catching moons and their shadow transits. :)
Fascinating!! Nice video Rob, long time subscriber🤙
Saw the title and instantly clicked to watch!
You know what would be poetic? If the rings were caused by moon collision within the last 100mil years then there's a chance that the Chicxulub meteor was once part of a moon of Saturn.
You may be on to something. The probability is indeed non-zero, but a lot of people speculate that the Chixhulub meteorite may have originated from the Asteroid Belt.
Very good.
Compared to other solar systems ours is ordered and beautiful with marvels around every planets in their own way, we are very lucky to live in a solar system like ours
Amazing stuff. Now it's time to listen to the song Born under Saturn by Samael :D
I have a book called Ring Makers of Saturn it tell a different story
Two moons did not need to collide, as the Roche Limit itself would be enough to shred a moon that got too close.
Humanity came into existence at the PERFECT time to see Saturn's rings! If we had waited for like 300 million years or so, we probably wouldn't even have known that the rings existed until we got probes to study Saturn! We're pretty lucky huh?
That also makes you wonder if any of the other planets used to have rings that have since disappeared! That's another pretty cool thought!
The thing that disappoints me the most about this channel is that it doesnt have 1M+ subscribers yet
Interest9ing that Saturn shows similarly the gravity well of the Sun, that there is the barrier of the gravity well around which the rings orbit, and an outward pressure or rift mound which maintain the orbits of the rings keeping them from falling into Saturn, and that counter pressure ridge of the inner planets falling into the Sun, even the ridge barriers of the outer planets interacting with the Sun's pull of gravity. Saturn's rings could be the product of the ignition of the Sun or possibly traversal from the inner solar system passing through the asteroid belt accumulating its rings. In the asteroid belt there is an area of missing asteroid matter as though a planet had passed through it. This would have been long after the Sun ignited, or If Jupiter and Saturn had reached this point of the rocky inner planets the asteroid belt could have been the result a planet trapped between Jupiter and Saturn and ripped apart by gravity within one or two orbits as Jupiter and Saturn journeyed outward. Saturn pulling on one side of the planet, and Jupiter pulling on the other side of the planet that became the asteroid belt. Jupiter would absorb most of any asteroids, but Saturn could accrete asteroids if it had passed through the asteroid belt slower as it was spread out in its orbit. Therre is the theory that the gas giants drifted to the outer solar system from the inner solar system, where they would have accumulated most of their gas during multiple ignition processes of the Sun. When the Sun became fully stable, the gas giants would slowly orbit accreting their mass and gas. They didn't make a straight beeline to the outer solar system, but their distance from the Sun rapidly increased or slowly in its orbits, for a gas giant, with the Sun's final ignition sequence, which also left the Oort Cloud beyond the outer solar system barriers.
I used to think that Saturn, a gas giant could have been a second star making our system a binary one.
It does have it's own ecreation disc and now we see it is creating proto planets
These rings are a sign of flying objects around saturn.
P I/T.S =Partials Interaction and then a Transfer into a Form .
Are you going to talk about Haumea and the Kuiper Belt
Can the collisions give something in the ring escape velocity?
There's a giant bolt screwed into it!
The hexagon is at the top! 😅
I always knew it: Saturn is just a monstrous alien conquering planet guarded by giant oysters!
The rings are natural space ship factories.
for a long time now i think saturn is a moon making machine....
How would we tell a small forming moon from a large chunk of an original mother moons
ما انسانها خیلی کوچک هستیم
God created man and woman not a Hu-man a monster.
ET's are making the rings of course and many of those moons are not moons at all!
Many, many theories about the rings, but nobody knows
Why rings and not an ort cloud ,why does the gravity keep it where it is?
Micro gravity?? Dont you mean static electricity?.
Because of the laws of physics planet or even Moon size objects can not exist IF they are mostly made up by ice with just a little bit of soil. They would eventually be ripped apart just as fast as they came together.
However, if an celestial object is much more dirt or soil than ice, it could eventually become a moon.
I would have imagined space stations build buy NASA
oh great Saturn has got kidney stones.
Saturn got the rings from the planet Tiamat.
i have a phobia of living on a gas giant moon and it falling to the planet. thinking about it gives me the same feeling i get from my fear of heights
Why do the rings remain as rings and don’t disperse? Is there a force field holding them flat? How come do you put 100s millions of years as thei time they formed? Are you afraid of mentioning the Creator?
I like Saturn but the true HOTTIE of the Solar System is Jupiter. Then again when we see high rese images of Neptune one day, she might be the true beauty.
There are still a lot of things we don't know about Neptune from its storms to why it's so active in spite of its distance from the Sun and it being warmer than Uranus.
What!!? You've never heard of hibernating space turtles? You live on a rock or something?
He doesn't know.
Rob. Please watch your spelling. “HIIDDEN” ???
Type once, check twice. 😂😂😂
🤦♂️ Wow! Completely missed that one. Well spotted!
Rings are from volcano actions on the various moons. Which explains the uniform crystals and why are you not mentioning that the rings aren't exactly static, the new crystals go into the pattern but stuff in the inner rings eventually fall into Saturn
I visited it years ago, but you don't count that....ha.
Honestly. Next time just read a restaurant menu. It will be just as informative.
…
Europa is overrated. Enceladus is by far the most interesting moon.
Like Europa, Enceladus may harbour oceanic life under its icy crust.
@@JamesDavy2009 I actually meant Europa. Enceladus is a better option in my opinion but scientists always go on about Europa.
What a wonderful creator our GOD is!Creating constantly anything HE wants which is beyond our comprehension and imagination. ISN’T GOD IS GREAT AND ALL POWERFUL!
dude. don't drink n scroll.

Find some religious channel and hangout with other brain washed morons 😅
Meh, I’ve seen weirder.
TRUMP 2024
Who the hell names a moon after their mother-in-law...
More unique than Uranus' moons named after Shakespearean characters.
