Inuit Group
The Inuit group is a dynamical grouping of the Retrograde and prograde motion, prograde irregular satellites of Saturn which follow similar orbits. Their semi-major axis, semi-major axes range between 11 and 19 Gm, their inclinations between 45° and 50°, and their Orbital eccentricity, eccentricities between 0.11 and 0.39. They take an average of 2 years to orbit Saturn. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) uses names taken from Inuit mythology for these moons. The group appeared quite homogeneous in early observations, the satellites displaying ''light-red'' colour (color index, colour indices B−V = 0.79 and V−R = 0.51, similar to that of the Gallic group) and similar infrared spectra. Recent observations, however, revealed that Ijiraq (moon), Ijiraq is distinctly redder than Paaliaq, Siarnaq and Kiviuq (moon), Kiviuq. In addition, unlike the other three, Ijiraq's spectrum does not display weak absorption near 0.7 μm. This feature is attributed to a possible water ...

Animation Of Saturn's Inuit Group Of Satellites
Animation is a filmmaking technique whereby image, still images are manipulated to create Motion picture, moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on cel, transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Animation has been recognised as an artistic medium, specifically within the Entertainment#Industry, entertainment industry. Many animations are either traditional animations or computer animations made with computer-generated imagery (CGI). Stop motion animation, in particular claymation, has continued to exist alongside these other forms. Animation is contrasted with live action, although the two do not exist in isolation. Many moviemakers have produced Live-action animation, films that are a hybrid of the two. As CGI increasingly Photorealism, approximates photographic imagery, filmmakers can easily Compositing, composite 3D animations into their film rather than using practical effects for showy visual effects (VFX). ...

Paaliaq
Paaliaq is a prograde irregular satellite of Saturn. It was discovered by J. J. Kavelaars, Brett J. Gladman, Jean-Marc Petit, Hans Scholl, Matthew J. Holman, Brian G. Marsden, Philip D. Nicholson and Joseph A. Burns in early October 2000, and given the temporary designation S/2000 S 2. It was named in August 2003 after a fictional shaman in the book ''The Curse of the Shaman,'' written by Michael Kusugak, who supplied Kavelaars with the names of giants from Inuit mythology that were used for other Saturnian moons. Paaliaq is thought to be about 29 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 15.0 million km in 687 days. It is a member of the Inuit group of irregular satellites. It is light red in color, and in the infrared the Paaliapian (Paaliaqan) spectrum is very similar to the Inuit-group satellites Kiviuq and Siarnaq, supporting the thesis of a possible common origin of the Inuit group in the break-up of a larger body. Its light cur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Natural Satellites
Of the Solar System's eight planets and its list of possible dwarf planets, nine most likely dwarf planets, six planets and seven dwarf planets are known to be orbited by at least 430 natural satellites, or moons. At least List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System#Satellites, 19 of them are large enough to be gravitationally rounded; of these, all are covered by a Crust (geology), crust of ice except for Earth's Moon and Jupiter's Io (moon), Io. Several of the largest ones are in hydrostatic equilibrium and would therefore be considered dwarf planets or planets if they were in direct orbit around the Sun and not in their current states (orbiting planets or dwarf planets). Moons are classed into two separate categories according to their orbits: regular moon, regular moons, which have prograde orbits (they orbit in the direction of their planets' rotation) and lie close to the plane of their equators, and irregular moon, irregular moons, whose orbits can be pro- ...

Electromagnetic Spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. Radio waves, at the low-frequency end of the spectrum, have the lowest photon energy and the longest wavelengths—thousands of kilometers, or more. They can be emitted and received by antenna (radio), antennas, and pass through the atmosphere, foliage, and most building materials. Gamma rays, at the high-frequency end of the spectrum, have the highest photon energies and the shortest wavelengths—much smaller than an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays, X-rays, and ...
