the bubble planet (because BawangMerah asked)
• The dark and shadowy planet, is named after the great Titan, Saturn, the Roman God of Agriculture.
• Saturn has the most moons (33 as of aug 2004), all in a complex ring system. The largest of these moons is Titan. It is believed that Titan has a solid outside layer of ice and in the inside there is water. There could be life in this core of water.
• Only 18 of Saturn's moons are named. They are Titan, Rhea, Pan, Phoebe, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Iapetus, Hyperion, Epimetheus, Janus, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Telesto, Calypso, Dione, and Helene. Most of them are named after other Titans and Titanesses.
• Has thousands of rings made of ice, dust, and rocks.
• The farthest planet you can see without a telescope.
• Second largest of all the planets. Its mass (weight) is over 95 times that of the Earth. Its diameter is over 10 times that of our planet.
• Rotates on its axis at a very fast speed. A Saturn day is only 10 Hours and 14 Minutes
• Saturn weighs almost nothing. It could float in your bathtub because it is less dense than water.
• Saturn has a large and beautiful aurora that produces strong radio signals, even whistler waves.
• Winds on this planet can reach above 1,100 miles per hour

Thanx :)
Dark and shadowy, heheh, I like that.
And saturn has moons with really cool names. Compared to 'Moon' for our satelite, Calypso, and Prometheus, sound so much better :P
