    • @z_monty
      @z_monty 3 роки тому +2

      It's hypothesized that the formation of Saturn prevented Jupiter from completing its journey to the centre of the Solar System, effectively drifting into the Sun. This is according to the theory that Jupiter drifted towards the Sun during the early formation of what we consider to be our solar system. I've gone off on a bit of a tangent but what I originally meant to say was that you can like em both equally, as they (possibly) worked together to get to their current positions, relatively far away from the sun.

    Possibly the most beautiful planet out there, Saturn is by far my most favorite planet, there is just so much about Saturn that makes the planet stand out so much over every other, the rings of course are the main attraction. It isn't the only planet with rings, but it is the only one with such amazingly visible rings that look super smooth. Man what I sight it would be to see Saturn in person with your own eyes, not through a telescope or picture or video, but through the glass of a space craft. How lucky are we to have such a beautiful planet in our solar system.

Early in January we finally had a cold day with perfect blue sky… I put the thing out around sunset and started looking at the first bright “star” after it had cooled down… one really bright point straight south and bang that was Saturn- such a great view, as darkness came there was obviously more but the first thing I ever looked at through a telescope was saturn and it looked spectacular!!!

    Wonderful video about this beautiful planet ^_^ .. Saturn is my favorite planet.. It looks so small in my telescope, but the fantastic rings are still very clear and fascinating
