===Geographical=== Saturn's rings are often considered to be the pearl of the Sol system, the origin of which is the planet's beautiful appearance together with its distinct ring-system. Like Jupiter, Saturn is a class J gas giant. When she was a child, Rain Robinson was able to see Saturn's rings through her brother's telescope. She used to think that they looked like jewels from a pirate's treasure, All she ever wanted since then was to reach up and touch them. This was when she realized, she wanted to become an astronomer. (VOY: "Future's End, Part II") In 1996, the Griffith Observatory featured an exhibit about Saturn. (VOY: "Future's End") Saturn was seen on a map depicting the Sol system watched by Nomad. (TOS: "The Changeling") Saturn was featured in a nonsense-two-line poem that Charlie Evans forced Spock to recite in 2266: "Saturn rings around my head, down a road that's Martian red. (TOS: "Charlie X") According to Arex, the cosmic cloud encountered by the USS Enterprise in 2269 had a diameter twice that of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune combined. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing") An image of Saturn's rings, taken by the Voyager 2 probe in 1981, was displayed in astrometrics aboard the USS Voyager in the year 2374. (VOY: "Year of Hell", et al.) A graphic of Saturn and the orbits of four of its moons was seen in TNG: "The First Duty" (depicted above). The outermost and largest moon was identified as Titan. The remaining three inner moons weren't named but it is very likely that they are Rhea, Dione, and Tethys, as they are the largest moons with smaller orbits than Titan (for instance, Iapetus is larger than both Tethys and Dione but its orbit is further away from Saturn than Titan's) and were all discovered in the 17th century and are well established. Teero Anaydis kept a photograph of Saturn in his home in 2377. (VOY: "Repression") [[Category: Planets]]
