Saturn, the planet of restriction, constraint, and structure will be retrograde, but don't fret—it's not as crazy as it ...
Saturn has more moons than any planet in our solar system. Astronomers have discovered 128 new moons orbiting Saturn , further solidifying the planet as the "moon king" of our solar system.
Each of Saturn’s seven rings are relatively close to one another, but all orbit at different speeds around the planet. If you were observing the rings from the tops of Saturn’s clouds, they ...
This phenomenon is caused by an optical illusion that occurs when the stars line up. Saturn is tilted at 26.73 degrees on its orbit, while Earth is very close to that at a 23.5-degree tilt.

Saturn's rings might have formed 100 million years ago when one of its icy moons was ripped apart by the planet's gravity.
Assuming it was similar in size to Iapetus (one of Saturn's larger moons), this orbit would be stable until the change in Titan's orbit brought the two moons into their own gravitational resonance.
Like Saturn, the new asteroid takes about 30 years to revolve but lies 60 degrees ahead of the planet in its orbit, Wiegert and colleagues report in work submitted September 29 to arXiv.org ...
"Saturn's orbit is just under 30 years, so there are two times in a Saturn orbit when that angle is just right," Dr. Schmoll says.
Saturn's characteristic rings are made of chunks of ice and rock, thought to have fallen into orbit around the planet after larger cosmic bodies were torn apart by Saturn's gravity.
