Fun fact about Hyperion - its rotation around the axis is chaotic and unpredictable except in the short-term due to gravitational influence from Titan. This is pretty rare for a moon, in addition it is a rare example of a moon not being tidally locked (except the very small and distant ones).
And Hyperion isn’t the only moon that does this. Pluto’s circumbinary moons also have chaotic rotations, so they are not tidally locked to Pluto, because Charon’s gravity prevents that
I absolutely love these videos man, i usually sleep to them but, ive noticed your videos are packed full of information that i have never heard of, ive watched space videos since the beginning of youtube and its very hard to find videos like this, even harder now that AI has flooded the market. Honestly keep it up! im not one to click the bell but your one of those rare instants i do
Hey, I used to watch your old videos, and I still do sometimes. I’d just like to say you’ve come very far and your English has gotten way more fluent than it used to be!
Happy new year, i love your videos, i hope you keep making them for a long time to come, you have the best voice out of all space related youtubers, i would love to see more videos about titan if there is still anything to say about that moon.
Just so you know. I hold off on watching your stuff after I've watched through all the chaff, as I see it. In other words, your channel is my sweet sweet well earned dessert 🍨 after forcing broccoli down. You are the pinnacle above all other channels here on RUclips.
If they thought it was necessary to have different categories for planets and dwarf planets, it makes a lot more sense to classify captures asteroids differently from other moons.
The fact Saturn has so many moons, makes me think that chances of a habitable earth-like moon around a gas giant are perhaps not unlikely but chances are very small. After all, the mass around Saturn did not coalescent into a single bigger body but dozens smaller. Besides such planet being tidaly locked, the radiation from gas giant would also be a problem.
What determines the definition of a moon? Bearing similarity to that of a planet, if simply orbiting a planet classifies it as a moon, one could consider every little ring particle could be a moon. Thus, Saturn would have billions of moons.
Ik you just released this, but is there any way you could specifically look into Uranus or Neptunes tiny icy satellites? or is there not enough info to?
Probably not, as the gravitational pull from the moon would be too weak to support any other bodies around it, and it would most likely get knocked out of orbit anyways from the planets gravity and either will be ejected from the planetary system or will go into a regular orbit around the planet
I've been trying this out with Universe Sandbox. I've placed Dysnomia (Eris small moon) in an orbit around the Moon. At a distance of about 3500 km. And it stays in orbit around the Moon. With an orbital period of about 4.7 days.
is that really another way of saying ‘dione’? I’ve always always heard it pronounced as, and have been pronouncing it as ‘die-own’ so the ‘dee-yo-nee’ is really throwing me off here
It's very likely not. It has an orbit that goes around the equator of Saturn, its orbit is prograde and it is sandwiched between regular moons. Those three characteristics together strongly point towards Hyperion forming from Saturn's disk in the distant past, meaning it is very likely a regular moon.

Its appearance is unusual. It looks like sponge. Is this due to its low density?

@ Yes, it is very porous.
Finally a video mentioning Methone! My favourite saturnian moon :)
It’s my fav mon too 😀!
Walter White's favourite moon too
😂😂
well hello, Arvii

As much as this channel and videos love this❤
Exactly!👍 This is my most favorite astronomy channel ❤❤❤
Best wishes for the new year, Dreksler & entourage! :)
Next Astrum video: "Saturn's most completely, utterly forgotten moon"
And his voice is a little annoying, especially the way he say “moons” or “plumes”
Wait wait, are DA and Astrum rivals now?
@@JTelli786no but it’s clear that Astrum has become a clickbait astronomy channel who steals ideas.
atleast Astrum's poster looks fire @@Tharsis_

Will you do this same topic with Jupiter?
Thanks Drex, all the best for the new year!👍👍🪐🪐
Very cool, was hoping for something like this
Phoebe surface reminds me of that of Mars moon Phobos.
Believe it or not, Tethys' Saturn's major icy moon less dense than water.
Wait till you find out SATURN is less dense than water

Perfect and extraordinary interesting video that I will watch repeatedly😍💕
Love your video ❤
I love space❤
Happy new year!
I love the moon videos 👍🏻
Thank you for mentioning pandora my favourite moon I named my cat after it cause of how nice the name is :D
I thought the most interesting feature of Phoebe is the glowing blue stuff.

How can i forget them 😂
will you also do Jupiter?

"I think moons have a good chance of having life, but not really"
- Thats you :D
Phebe looks like somebody did some heavy duty minning
I love obscure moons!

Happy new year DA
Moons are so underrated
Kerbal space program outer planets mod enjoyers know methone as the egg moon (or ovok in the game)
Iapetus looks like it was spray painted
Next video: the forgotten rings of Uranus, Neptune and Jupiter
Great video as always
good video
why does methone look so squishable
Ovok swag

What If the theoretical Mars-Sized Planet (Phaeton) existed today at 2 AU from our Sun (double the Earth's distance or twice as far away as Earth)
POV super space fans: I will never forget Hyperion
Can you do the less know no-one of Uranus and Neptune.
He did uranus'e
YES
@@pixipero7 I think they mean non-speherical asteroid sized ones
@@atoyinthebox ohh
Neso is the most forgotten moon of Neptune, and it’s also the most distant moon because it’s 92 million km away from neptune
Ik you just released this, but is there any way you could specifically look into Uranus or Neptunes tiny icy satellites? or is there not enough info to?
Tails "Kilometers" Prower is a great SEGA character. Friend of Saturn the Hedgehog.

19:55 why that huge crater has pixelated area? what is in that spot
the rim. lower left hand portion
it's not pixelated, I know it looks like it but it's actually just a trick of the light
It's not pixelated, it's just how the rim looks
Have a successful New Year 2025❤❤❤
Oh god everything reminds me of him…
Most moons are basically asteroids.
19 moons or more if more were discovered in the future round moons
If Janus and Epimetheus "swap orbits", doesn't that mean that they are binary moons that very slowly orbit their common center of gravity?
ELECTRICITY is an amazing thing...

Uhm Before I Watch This Vid Is There The Moon “Pan?”
😮:Saturn most forgotten moons are the moon that look like asteroids no lies.😮
the most uneducated find this stuff the most interesting
I suppose you’re one of the smart “educated” people who don’t find it interesting.
Aren't almost all the moons forgotten?
NO ONE FORGETS PAN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It’s a new year and you still don’t know hippocamp!?
can a moon have a moon ?

Depends on the size of the moon
W video 🙏
I remember Jupiter had 67 mom's and Saturn had 62
A idea on a video on all exomoon canadit.

Needs more AI
Are those Moons or some stupid asteroids on orbit...
URTH!
First video of 2025😳
hyperion is the biggest iregular moon tho
It's very likely not. It has an orbit that goes around the equator of Saturn, its orbit is prograde and it is sandwiched between regular moons.

@@DrekslerAstral oh i didn't know that
@@DrekslerAstral also, that Proteus is bigger than Hyperion
