LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THE MOONS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

SATURN'S MOON ENCELADUS HAS FOUNTAINS THAT

SHOOT LARGE JETS OF WATER INTO SPACE.

ACCORDING TO NASA IT SEEMS LIKE ONE OF THE

MOST HOSPITABLE PLACES IN OUR SOLAR

SYSTEM OUTSIDE OF EARTH

BESIDES CHARON, PLUTO ACTUALLY HAS 4 OTHER

MOONS THAT ROTATE CHAOTICALLY ON THEIR AXIS.

THEY WERE MOST LIKELY FORMED DURING A

COLLISION A LONG TIME AGO

SATURN'S MOONS EPIMETHEUS AND JANUS ARE

CO-ORBITAL WHICH MEANS THEY SHARE ORBITS.

THEY AVOID CRASHING INTO EACH OTHER, HOWEVER,

DUE TO MUTUAL ACCELERATION AND

DECELERATION BECAUSE OF GRAVITY

GANYMEDE AND TITAN ARE TWO OF THE LARGEST

MOONS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. IN FACT, THEY ARE

BOTH BIGGER THAN MERCURY

NESO IS NEPTUNE'S MOST DISTANT MOON. IT IS SO

FAR THAT IT TAKES 26 YEARS TO ORBIT NEPTUNE ONCE

PHOBOS, ONE OF MARS'S MOONS, APPEARS TO

RISE/FALL IN THE SKY TWO TIMES EVERY DAY.

THIS IS BECAUSE IT ORBITS FASTER THAN

MARS ROTATES!

NEPTUNE'S LARGEST MOON, TRITON, HAS GEYSERS

THAT SHOOT MATERIALS NEARLY 5 MILES

INTO THE ATMOSPHERE

JUPITER'S MOON EUROPA HOLD'S MORE WATER

THAN EARTH. IT'S SUB-SURFACE OCEANS COULD

BE AS DEEP AS 170KM

JUPITER HAS 67 MOONS. THAT IS THE MOST

OUT OF ANY PLANET
