It seems to be completely frozen solid –- and there is no solid explanation of why. It won the Grammy Award for Best New Age Album of 1993.
Strangely, however, this moon does not have it. Shepherd Moons is an album by Irish musician Enya, released on 4 November 1991 in the United Kingdom. In fact, it has a more elliptical orbit which means there should be more tidal action to cause massive water geysers. A small moon that orbits near the outer edges of a. Because of its close elliptical orbit and because it is mainly made of ice, there should theoretically be ice volcanic activity such as on Enceladus. This is the meaning of shepherd moon: shepherd moon (English). There is also another puzzle about Mimas that perplexes scientists. This crater is located in such a way that it makes the moon look at first blush like Emperor Palpatine built it.
Yet these are small compared to a huge impact crater, called the Herschel Crater, which is 80 miles wide. Most of these asteroid craters are large, with many over 25 miles wide. Mimas is small, with an average 123-mile radius according to NASA and at only 115,000 miles out from Saturn has been subject to intense bombardment from asteroids. Other planets in the solar system have such shepherds for their less spectacular ring systems, including Jupiter and Neptune. According to the New York Times, the shepherd moons are made mostly of ice and accrete even more ice as they make their endless revolutions around the planet. What makes them even stranger is their irregular appearance: Atlas is pointy while Pan looks like a 1950's conception of a UFO. Consider that our Moon orbits Earth in a little under a month.
It has the shepherd moons free#
Pan, for example, orbits Saturn in 13.8 hours while Atlas does it in 14.4. Listen free to Enya Shepherd Moons (Shepherd Moons, Caribbean Blue and more). The function of these shepherds is to clear spaces between Saturn's famous rings or, in the case of Atlas, trim the edge of one. Atlas has an average radius of just 9.4 miles, while Daphnis is only 2.4 miles. According to NASA, the potato-shaped Epimetheus has an average 36-mile radius and is the largest shepherd moon. However, instead of herding sheep, these satellites herd rings with a gravity crook. After the unexpected critical and commercial success of her previous album Watermark (1988), Enya embarked on a worldwide promotional tour to support it. Several of Saturn's moons, including Pan, Daphnis, and Atlas, are classified together as shepherd moons. Shepherd Moons is the third studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 4 November 1991 by WEA.
