Watch the video of the Earth and the Moon from a distance of 1.2 billion kilometers

Exceptional video compiling images of Earth and Moon taken by Cassini probe from Saturn orbit

the Cassini probe NASA has left us a tremendous legacy regarding the Saturn system. During its years in orbit, it has photographed the Earth several times from its vantage point, that is, from its vantage point. From 1.2 billion kilometers from our planet With, hear, hear, even the moon! Good view!

Some information about the Lord of the Rings movie

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in our solar system. Decorated with a beautiful icy ring system, Saturn is unique among the planets.. And it’s not the only one with rings (Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus also have rings). Like the gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Surrounded by more than 80 known moons, it’s home to some of the most spectacular landscapes in our solar system. From the water-spouting jets of Enceladus to the methane lakes TitaniumThe Saturn system is a rich source of Scientific discoveries still contain many mysteries.Saturn has a radius of 58,232 kilometers, more than 9 times that of Earth, and is 9.5 astronomical units (1.4 billion km) from the Sun. An astronomical unit (abbreviated AU) is the distance from the Sun to Earth (150 million km). At this distance, it takes sunlight 80 minutes to travel from the Sun to Saturn. It has the second shortest day of any planet in the Solar System (lasting just 10.7 hours, the time it takes to rotate once). One revolution (a complete orbit around the Sun) takes 29.4 Earth years. Its axis is tilted 26.73 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, similar to Earth’s tilt of 23.5 degrees. This means that Saturn, like Earth, has seasons. And even more than 120 moons!

Saturn’s ring system extends to 282,000 km From the planet, but its thickness is fair 10 metersThe rings are named alphabetically in the order of their discovery, and are relatively close together, except for a 4,700-kilometre-wide area called Cassini Division which separates the A and B rings. The main rings are A, B, and C. The D, E, F, and G rings are fainter and were discovered recently. Starting at Saturn and moving outward, there is the D ring, the C ring, the B ring, the Cassini fission, the A ring, the F ring, the G ring, and finally the E ring. Far beyond that, There is a faint ring of Phoebe in the orbit of the moon Phoebe. Great system!
