NGC 422 is an open cluster located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on September 21, 1835, by John Herschel . It was described by John Louis Emil Dreyer as "very faint (in Nubecular Minor)", with Nubecular Minor being the Small Magellanic Cloud .
2003 SS 422 is a trans-Neptunian object located in the outermost region of the Solar System. It was discovered on 28 September 2003, by American astronomers at the Cerro Tololo Observatory in La Serena , Chile, and estimated to measure approximately 168 kilometers (104 miles) in diameter.
Aegaeon is the smallest known moon of Saturn outside of the rings and has an extremely elongated shape, measuring 1.4 km × 0.5 km × 0.4 km (0.87 mi × 0.31 mi × 0.25 mi) in size. [9] Measurements of its mass show that Aegaeon has a very low density, likely due to a highly porous and icy interior structure. [ 5 ]
(523622) 2007 TG 422 (provisional designation 2007 TG 422) is a trans-Neptunian object on a highly eccentric orbit in the scattered disc region at the edge of Solar System. Approximately 260 kilometers (160 miles) in diameter, it was discovered on 3 October 2007 by astronomers Andrew Becker , Andrew Puckett and Jeremy Kubica during the Sloan ...
J1407b's disk has a 4-million km (2.5-million mi)-wide gap between radii 0.396 to 0.421 AU (59.2 to 63.0 million km; 36.8 to 39.1 million mi), which is believed to have been created by a nearly-Earth-sized (<0.8 M 🜨) exomoon orbiting within that gap and clearing out material, in a similar fashion to the shepherd moons of Saturn's rings.
Saturn’s rings are seen as viewed by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which obtained the images that comprise this mosaic at a distance of approximately 450,000 miles from Saturn April 25, 2007.
Saturn’s moon Enceladus may have all the ingredients necessary to host life, according to a new study based on data from Nasa’s Cassini spacecraft mission.. The spacecraft ended its mission in ...
The X-axis is labeled in terms of Saturn's Hill radius. The Gallic group is a dynamical grouping of the prograde irregular satellites of Saturn following similar orbits. Their semi-major axes range between 16 and 19 Gm, their inclinations between 36° and 41°, and their eccentricities between 0.46 and 0.53.
