The innermost moons and regular moons all have small orbital inclinations and eccentricities and prograde orbits. Traditionally, most of Saturn's moons have been named after the Titans of Greek mythology, and are grouped based on their size, orbits, and proximity to Saturn. However, some of its inner and outer moons are among the largest and most dramatic in the solar system, ranging from 250 to over 5000 km. In fact, 34 of those moons that have been named are less than 10 km in diameter, and another 14 are between 10 and 50 km in diameter. Most of these moons are small, icy bodies that are little more than parts of its impressive ring system. Parker and colleagues (2011), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Thanks to all the readers who’ve mentioned abiotic oil over the years. There’s a lot more in the interview about his experience at Harvard, and climate science and the sun. Isn’t it time a civilization dependent on these fuels had an honest discussion about where they came from? We’ve taught two generations of children that there is one simple narrative, and if you questioned it you were an idiot. What we do know, says Jo, is that they’re not trying to understand this, and they’re not trying to tell us the whole truth either. Though there have been these odd claims out there for years that some oil fields are refilling. Even if abiotic oil exists on Earth, it may form too slowly to be useful. It could be forming 50 to 100 miles down, but we’re only drilling 6 to 8 miles deep. On his CERES sites, Willie Soon explains that in practical terms, we don’t know how much of the oil and gas on earth is made without fossils (in an abiogenic process). (Zhao, Parker, Freissinet) They also found benzene on Mars. Several papers in the last dozen years find more exotic kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons all over the place, like in Titan’s atmosphere and even forming in deep cold interstellar space. In 2009 an experiment showed that when methane is put under great pressure like the kind we find 50-100 miles underground, it can form more complex hydrocarbons. Soon explains that Titan proves that abiotic oil and gas formation is true. But where was NASA in the 18 years since? In fact even in 2005 a NASA scientist quietly admitted that Titan had methane that wasn’t made from fossils. Not only does Titan have liquid seas of hydrocarbon fuel - but we’ve known this for years. As an opening he explained how one of Saturn’s moons has more liquid fuel than than all the oil and gas deposits of Earth, which rather pokes a hole in the idea that fossil fuels are only ever made from fossils.Įssentially a frozen, lifeless moon with no dinosaurs, forests or peat bogs, somehow has lakes of methane. They didn’t tell us, the term “fossil fuels” might be wrong tooĭr Willie Soon unleashes on the failures of climate change and modern science for 40 minutes with Tucker Carlson (see below).
