Saturn's icy moons
medium size were twisted when several much larger satellites crash, forming a
giant moon Titan, states a new study conducted by a team of scientists led by
Eric Asfogom University of California, Santa Cruz.
Initially, in the
Saturn system there exists a family of relatively large satellites known as the
"Galilean satellites" (Ganymede, Europa, Callisto and Io), according
to a new theory. But everything changed after a series of rather large collision
between satellites, which are formed by Titan and was thrown into a huge amount
of space matter that formed satellites such as Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione,
Rhea and Iapetus, the researchers say.
