I think the reason that the moons do that weird thing in the beginning is because they're just moving faster. Since Saturn has much stronger gravity than earth, the moons have to be moving faster in order to stay in neat orbits. But when replaced with earth, they're already going way too fast to stay in orbit, and so escape Earth's influence. Auto orbit obviously forces them into a stable orbit, and I think that's the only way to get some accuracy with it. I like this series though!
Fun fact : The irregular moons of Saturn (Except Phoebe) are named after various giants from various mythologies. There's the Gallic Group, and it's members have orbital inclination around 30 degrees. Some of them are Albiorix, Bebhionn, Erriapus, and Tarvos. There's the Inuit Group, and it's members have orbital inclination of around 40 to 50 degrees. Some of them are Siarnaq, Ijiraq, Paaliaq, Kiviuq, and Tarqeq. Then there's the Norse Group, and it's members have orbital inclination above 90 degrees, which means that they're retrograde, unlike Gallic and Inuit Group which are prograde. Phoebe is classified as the Norse Group. Other from Norse Group are Skathi, Suttungr, Hati, Thrymr, Bestla, Fenrir, Loge, Ymir, Surtur, Fornjot, and many more.
Welp, if earth was larger, it might've been able to hold on to Iapetus. Earth just needs a larger Hills Sphere. The Hills sphere is the area of gravitation dominance where one objects gravity is strong enough to over come the other object gravity. Earth has a very small Hills sphere so it can't hold on to many objects

2:22 Earth is split all saturn's moons away
Next you could do Uranus moons!
4th in here, real excited for the video!
Solarballs Saturn's Moons
saturnsmons has got a wors day
:/ enceladus is my favourite moon not cool
mine is iapetus
My favorite moons are Mimas, Titan and the hypothetical Themis
Where are the Space Engine videos???
Where are the Space Engine videos???
Can mercury hold Saturn's moons
uhh i dont think so
Earth Two moon mars
NOT FIRST WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
10th here
518th
3,109th
1st?
