There was five bands and all of them added to the Christmas spirit. The Cosmic Reporter "Voyager 1’s Exciting Encouter With Saturn" By Tim Linder On the evening of November 12, after a billion mile -38 month journey, the Voyager 1 spacecraft came to within 77,000 miles of the ringed planet Saturn. During the approach phase and closest passage Voyager 1 made many new and startling discoveries about Saturn and its moons. Some of these discoveries are still unexplainable. About two months before closest approach, during the far encounter phase. Voyager 1 discovered three new moons bringing the total of known Saturnian satellites to 15. The smallest of the newly discovered moons is 50 miles in diameter and its orbit lies just inside Saturn’s thin F-ring. Late on the evening of November 11, the day before closest approach to Saturn, Voyager 1 passed to within 2500 miles of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Titan was a very important target for Voyager since it is the only moon in our solar system known to have an atmosphere. Unfortunately photos of Titan showed a surface totally shrouded in orange clouds. Titans atmosphere was found to contain a very high amount of hydrogern. Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Saturn at 6:46 p.m. on November 12. Photos at this time showed extremely fine details on Saturn’s cloud tops and in the ring system. Photos showed that Saturn is very much like Jupiter. Saturn is primarily a ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS where you've gone (That's because she faithfully follows your every footstep).

Very violent storms continually occur in Saturn's atmosphere. Some of these storms have winds of more than 900 miles per hour. One of the more startling discoveries was of the structure of Saturns rings. Scientist previously thought that only five or six rings encircled Saturn but Voyager photos revealed that hundres of thin ringlets orbit Saturn. These ringlets are composed of millions of small chunks of ice, each in its own orbit around Saturn. Saturns outermost ring, the F-ring, is actually two or three rings twisted and braided around each other. This is very unusual and is still unexplainable. On its outbound journey from Saturn, Voyager photographed six more moons. The moon Rhea was found to have a cratered, frostcovered surface with streaks of blue. Mimas was found to have a huge crater on its surface almost a fourth as large as the moon itself. This crater, with its central peak, made Mimas appear as a huge eye in space. Photos of Tethys showed a huge trench 50 miles wide, one mile deep and 500 miles long. Dione was also found to have numerous craters with white whispy patterns on its surface. Voyager 1 will continue looking back at Saturn until the end of December, after that it will begin an endless journey into deep space. Voyager 2 is scheduled to reach Saturn in August, of next year and if all goes well it will continue on for a January 1986 encounter with Uranus. That's it for this week, HAPPY STARGAZING!!!!
