Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is classified as a gas giant, and noted for its prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust.

Saturn is named after the Roman god of farming and agriculture.

Astronomers paid professional film editors to make the time-viewer recording of the formation of Saturn's rings look interesting. For the most part, the editors succeeded.[1]

Saturn in "Les Mortes d'Arthur"[]

Certain events of the Sixty-sixth Winter Games, such as the five-kilometer ski jump, were held on Mimas, a moon of Saturn.
