GAM_Saturn_0413_Moons


Here we have the same set of images shown in the previously posted "GAM_Saturn_0413" image, however, the brightness has been enhanced to show a few of the moons orbiting around Saturn. Given that Triton's orbital period is around 5.9 days, can you use these images to determine which of the moons it is? Are you able to identify any of the other moons? Is there any other planetary characteristic that we can determine from the motion of planetary moons?

Remember that the plane of Saturn's rings gives you a clue as the orbital plane of Saturn's moons.
