Hey Insane Curiosity Squad! If you liked the video, we would love for you to share it with your friends or on other social networks like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, etc...

Also additional corrections: Hyperion is NOT the only moon in the Solar System that orbit chaotically, Pluto's smaller moons Nix, Hydra and Styx also rotate chaotically. And Mimas is quite deformed and not a perfect circle at all.
Neptune's Triton is weird too. It orbits retrograde. It used to orbit an earth-sized rocky planet which was then swallowed by Neptune. Triton still orbits its original rocky planet, without regard to the fact it is now surrounded by the ice giant.
''Scientists think Triton is a Kuiper Belt Object captured by Neptune's gravity millions of years ago. It shares many similarities with Pluto, the best known world of the Kuiper Belt''. -I copied this straight from Nasa website. This is what I was thinking to be true.
Great video. Moons don't get nearly enough attention. They are fascinating objects and we have a lot yet to learn about them and the Sol System as a whole in the process
Actually, Cassini in the 17th century already successfully deduced that Iapetus is a two-faced bright and dark body as early as then. And the symbol for the Yin-and-Yang is called a "Taiji Tu" (太極圖), not Yin-and-Yang.
On TV program How Universe Works they said, that Iapetus had rings ones. Those rings collapsed and rain down on the surface. That's how that mountain ridge around the equator formed. They also said Enceladus is the reason for the snowy side on Iapetus. Erupting icy blooms from Enceladus coats the surface of Iapetus
Slightly disappointed that the strangest moon of Saturn (Titan) isn’t on this list. It literally has lakes and rivers… of liquid methane and ethane. And an atmosphere so thick you can barely see the surface. It’s the only moon in the solar system with a significant atmosphere but okay
That question does not have a simple answer. Yes moons can gain temporary moons, but orbital instabilities caused by interactions with other nearby large objects, especially the parent planet suggests that these would be relatively short lived. Our own Moon is a great example, because we have put many artificial ‘moons’ around it in the form of various probes. Experience has shown that it is much more difficult to maintain an orbit around the Moon than it is around the Earth. As a result there is a current mission to put a probe into a new kind of orbit that is both highly inclined to the plane of the Earth-Moon system, and flies a very long way out in an elliptical orbit of about two weeks that calculations suggest should be more stable than a regular roughly circular orbit. If successful, I wonder if an astroidal body could manage to accidentally enter such an orbit, and thus become longer term? I don’t know, but I do know that if it gets caught in an orbit similar to ones we have used nearer the planet, the orbit would quickly decay and the object would crash onto the lunar surface. There is another factor with our Moon, however, and that is additional instability due to the Sun’s gravity. I suspect this may be why the closer-in planets, Venus and Mercury, don’t have any moons. It also suggests that further out planets might have a smaller issue in that regard, although the pull from other moons may make that moot. I suspect that the Kuiper Belt may be the place where moons around moons may be more likely to occur. So far no moons around moons have been found, but the further away a body is, the more difficult to spot smaller objects, however there is possible evidence of at least one possibly existing in the past. In 2008 a ring was detected around Rhea, a moon of Saturn. Current theoretical models of ring formation postulate them being the result of the breakup of another body. This does not confirm that Rhea’s ring formed this way, but it does raise the possibility that Rhea may have had a moon in the past.
I was wondering if it’s possible if when you are staying the units of measurement that you could use KM and Miles it helps me learn the translation between the two and can give U.S. viewers a little more context
Iaeptus got hit by a HUGE planet sized rock. It hit directly in the center of the side which caused the equatorial mountain ridges, and the dark side, which is dirt and debris from that impact.
I thought they upgraded earth to having 2 moons now, granted it's just a small thing but I remember reading a little about it, it doesn't actually orbit earth like the moon ,it orbits the sun along the same path as earth
It is a bit weird. It sounds as if they have recruited a speech machine to pronounce JUST THAT WORD and have kept the human to pronounce all the other words.
Q is a navgative sign on my view! And builting on devices levels. How hi Tex would the worlds want. Am be ready when am done waiting! It's your turn end tell 2024!
Giving me measurements in km, etc. means nothing to me. If you want Americans to benefit without them having to do math all the way through this video you need to make things more obvious for us non-Scientific non-Europeans.

The best description of Pan's appearance is "ravioli". Atlas looks like a fried egg.

It's such moons that intrigue me the most. Their imperfections make them so interesting. ❤

Yeah ok Bill Nye!! 🤣
How does a planet swallow and earth sized object and not it's moon tho

Love to see these in person
Iapetus is also a weird Saturnian moon, because one hemisphere is snowy bright white and the other is opaque dark brown.

Aaawwwwwwwhh it’s like Pan is a lil mini Saturn
You forgot to showcase Europa. There's a huge monster under the ice water.
What, like the Loch Ness Monster?
Great video !

Do moons ever have moons of their own?

@@artistjoh Wow! Thanks for all that info.
Great question

And the English viewers. In England we use miles not kilometres too.
Iaeptus got hit by a HUGE planet sized rock. It hit directly in the center of the side which caused the equatorial mountain ridges, and the dark side, which is dirt and debris from that impact.
1:23 Mercury as Pluto and Our Moon as Charon.
actually jupiter has 95 moons and saturn has 83 and the new closest moon to saturn is s/2009/s1
Pan is indeed called the "tortellini moon".
They are not "our" moons,they are the planet's moons. Humans don't own anything in space,including Earth. They are strange moons anyway.
The rabbit Z is on files this year across the globe and USA!
Nice
I’m glad you liked it 💜
I was expecting Miranda to be on the list.
Pan is Saturn's tortellini moon.
And every one of these moons is a moon of Saturn.
I thought they upgraded earth to having 2 moons now, granted it's just a small thing but I remember reading a little about it, it doesn't actually orbit earth like the moon ,it orbits the sun along the same path as earth
11:20 Bruh that's charon not mimas, 11:39 & 12:28 AND THAT'S PHOBOS
Probably an editing mistake
@@jorgecrow4188 yeah many your weight
The way the AI narrator says “Iapetus” after each word 😂
Iapetus is a Latin word, so you need to say it with J not I. AI doesn't know this 😁
It is a bit weird. It sounds as if they have recruited a speech machine to pronounce JUST THAT WORD and have kept the human to pronounce all the other words.
Saturn op isn't exactly sure
WTH is it with these kilometers and meters crap? Use MILES!!!
Moon Uranus.
Good channel but the music is of putting
10:05 That's no moon!!!!!
Oplumpys is digital goddesses! Am not a 06 to know the opposites? Huh? Qm

The death star is not as powerful as a sith o jedi master if u dont think so ask vader hell help u understand
Death Star moon mimus
No, Mimas.
