#'enceladus'

[supernatant]

Learned that Cassiel, the angel Castiel was based on, guards Saturn, so here are some headcanons that formed

-He and Agiel (the other seraph who guards Saturn) worked together to make it and its moons

-He’s also the guardian of one of the palaces of Heaven (unclear which one), so now in my headcanon each planet in the solar system has/is a gate to a subsection of Heaven.

-Castiel created the rings of Saturn by accident when he made a new moon too close to the planet and it got destroyed. Everyone thought they looked cool so they were allowed to stay

-The shepherd moons in the rings are like his zen garden

-He keeps making moons out of boredom and silent competition with whoever guards Jupiter. Moons Georg

-whatever the heck is going on with Janus and Epimetheus’ shared orbit was him putting them too close to each other and finding an unorthodox way of fixing it. The Virtues hate him for it. They draw straws whenever it’s time to make them turn around.

-His favourite moon is Enceladus and he likes to chill in the underground oceans when he wants alone time

-He hates Mimas because of the horrible screaming noise it makes. He and Dean watch Star Wars and when it gets to ‘that’s no moon’ he says ‘Ugh, why is Mimas in this’. Maybe it’s where they keep Zazel (demon of Saturn).

-Headcanon Agiel and Castiel are the angel equivalent of twins, but they have a yin-yang thing going on.

-Castiel is the goth one, being the angel of solitude and tears and also an angel of death.

-Agiel’s wings are different shades of silver

-As an intelligence angel, Agiel is a chatterbox and a major nerd. Unfortunately they also work for Naomi :(

-I am about to turn them into an OC

#all gas giants have 100+ moons factoid actually statistical error #moons castiel who rules over saturn and makes 3 moons a century is an outlier adn should not have been couned #'where have you been' #'enceladus' #'well then where are they I'm hungry' #'no the moon' #castiel heacanon #castiel #spn #supernatural #look up planet sounds on youtube. trust me mimas is horrible #spn oc #spn headcanon #Moons Castiel #spn angels in space #<- a tag for this?

Saturn's Cleanest Moon: Enceladus - November 25th, 1995.

"Enceladus orbits Saturn between the smaller Mimas and the larger Tethys. Enceladus is composed mostly of water ice and has the cleanest and purest ice surface in the Solar System. It's surface therefore appears nearly white. The surface also has many unusual groves and relatively few craters, like Jupiter's moon Ganymede. This indicates that the surface is young and/or newly reformed. To explain this, some astronomers speculate that Enceladus is susceptible to some sort of volcanic activity. Enceladus was originally discovered in 1789 by William Herschel."

Saturn and a few of its moons on September 8, 2023 // Giacomo Russo

Those moons include: Titan, Dione, Enceladus, Tethys, and Rhea

Found on Saturn's moon Enceladus, the discovery raises the possibility that life could exist on the tiny frozen satellite. Compounds containing phosphorous were identified in vapor spewed out by Saturn's ocean moon Enceladus – the Solar System body with the largest ratio of liquid water by mass – by an international team led by planetary scientist Frank Postberg of the Free University of Berlin in Germany. The amounts found suggest there could be abundances more than 100 times higher than we have here on Earth. This means we have a new clue for understanding ocean worlds in the Solar System and beyond. And since phosphorus is one of the six elements considered critically crucial for life based on water and organic chemistry, its discovery significantly raises the prospects for life on Enceladus. "Phosphorus is an element essential for planetary habitability, but to date, it has not been detected in an ocean beyond Earth. Previous geochemical modeling suggested that phosphate might be scarce in the ocean of Enceladus and other icy ocean worlds," the researchers write in their paper.

My friend asked me to draw these three [coincidentally, they all have the letter “E” in their name.)

The ring swirling around Saturn consists of chunks of ice and dust. Saturn itself is made of ammonia ice and methane gas. The little dark spot on Saturn is the shadow from Saturn's moon Enceladus 🪐

Geophysicist: *calls Pluto a moon* Me: What the fuck did you just fucking say about Pluto, you little shit? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals...

#shitpost #pluto #astronomy #physics #stem #i understand that her reason for including Pluto was bc it might have an ocean under its ice layer and she was grouping it w/moons like #Europa and Enceladus but a part of me internally flew into a rage at Pluto being downgraded yet again this time from a dwarf planet to a #*moon*. A moon! IDK about you but last I checked Pluto does not orbit another planet #personal
