Ridge on Saturn moon Iapetus was hard nut to crack
By: William Atkins
What is probably most unusual about the moon is its shape. Iapetus is not shaped like most large moons. Instead, it has a unique bulging ridge around its equator that makes it shaped like a walnut, prompting people to nickname it the “Walnut Moon”.

Restored Saturn V: Apollo workhorse showcased at NASA Johnson Space Center
By: William Atkins
The newly refurbished Saturn V rocket, also nicknamed the Moon Rocket, is now on display outside of the NASA Johnson Space Center. The 30-story tall rocket provided the power in the 1960s and 70s to lift U.S. astronauts to the Moon and back.

When planets collide: Venus, Saturn in night sky 6/30 and 7/1
By: William Atkins
Actually, Venus and Saturn will only “appear” to collide because they are really millions of miles apart. However, on the nights of Saturday, June 30 and Sunday, July 1, 2007, the planet Venus will pass the planet Saturn by only two-thirds of a degree over the American sky.

Enceladus geysers might be from plate friction, not erupting ice
By: William Atkins
Two independent studies on Saturn's moon Enceladus show that geyser formation may be due to ice plates grinding together to produce eruptions of vapor into the atmosphere.
