Lesson 85 - How could a moon of Saturn kill me?

I Slept Through Science

Saturn is best known for its rings, but how much do you really know about them? How big are they? How many are there? What are they made of? Saturn also has the most moons of any planet in the solar system and Cheryl gets to learn about some of the interesting and unique features of a few of them...including Ryan's favorite moon, Mimas. It's never too late to learn about the world around you. This is part of Our Deadly Solar System unit.
