Random information on the term “Moon of Saturn”:
Mimas, also designated Saturn I, is a natural satellite of Saturn that has the second largest crater on any moons in the Solar System, named the Herschel crater. The Herschel crater measures 139 kilometres (86 miles) across, about one-third of Mimas’s mean diameter (396.4 kilometres or 246.3 miles), and is believed to be formed from an extremely energetic impact event. The crater’s name is derived from the discoverer of Mimas, William Herschel, in 1789.
Mimas is the smallest astronomical body known to be roughly rounded in shape due to its own gravity. Mimas’s low density, 1.15 g/cm3, indicates that it is composed mostly of water ice with only a small amount of rock. The moon’s presence has created one of the largest ‘gaps’ in Saturn’s ring, named the Cassini Division, due to orbital resonance destabilizing the particles’ orbit there.
Mimas was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel on 17 September 1789. He recorded his discovery as follows: “I continued my observations constantly, whenever the weather would permit; and the great light of the forty-feet speculum was now of so much use, that I also, on the 17th of September, detected the seventh satellite, when it was at its greatest preceding elongation.”

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the second-largest in the Solar System and larger than any of the dwarf planets of the Solar System. It is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere, and is the only known object in space other than Earth on which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found.
Titan is one of the seven gravitationally rounded moons in orbit around Saturn, and the second most distant from Saturn of those seven. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan is 50% larger (in diameter) than Earth’s Moon and 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System after Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, and is larger than the planet Mercury, but only 40% as massive.
Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, and the sixth known planetary satellite (after Earth’s moon and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter). Titan orbits Saturn at 20 Saturn radii. From Titan’s surface, Saturn subtends an arc of 5.09 degrees, and if it were visible through the moon’s thick atmosphere, it would appear 11.4 times larger in the sky, in diameter, than the Moon from Earth, which subtends 0.48° of arc.
