Introduction
Titania, The Eighth Largest Moon in The Solar System is the Largest Moon orbiting Uranus. Titania has a mass of 3.527±0.09 × 10^21 kilograms, a diameter of 1578 Kilometers and a surface area of 7,820,000 kilometers². Titania has an orbital period of 8.7 Earth Days and an average orbital speed of 3.64 kilometers per second. Profile of Titania Named after Titania in English Poet William Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Titania was discovered on January 1787 by German-Born British Astronomer William Herschel. Titania has an average surface temperature of 70±7 Kelvin with a low temperature of 60 Kelvin and a high temperature of 89 Kelvin. The Atmosphere of Titania is mostly made of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) with trace elements of Nitrogen and Methane. Titania has 15 named craters, the names of those craters are: Bona, Elinor, Iras, Adriana, Imogen, Jessica, Marina, Calphurinia Katherine, Lucetta, Ursula, Valeria, Mosa, Mposa & Gertrude.

Introduction
Neso, the furthest out moon of Neptune, Neso has the longest orbital period around Neptune. Also known as Neptune XIII, Neso has an orbital period around Neptune of around 9740.73 Earth Days or 26.67 Earth Years. Neso is an irregular moon. The mass of Neso is 164,853,527,640,691,000 kilograms and a diameter 60 kilometers. Profile of Neso Neso was discovered in Mid-August of 2002 by Smithsonians Astrophysicist Matthew J. Holman and Canadian Astronomer Brett J. Gladman. Neso use to be named S/2002 N 4. Introduction
Rhea, The Ninth Largest Moon in The Solar System is one of the moons of the planet Saturn; in fact Rhea is The Second Largest Moon orbiting Saturn. Rhea also goes by the name Saturn V. Rhea has a mass of 2.3065 ×1021 kilograms, a surface area of 7,337,000 kilometers squared and a diameter of 1527.6±2.0 kilometers. Rhea takes 4.5 Earth Days to revolve around Saturn. Profile of Rhea The Moon Rhea, was discovered in Late December of 1672 by Italian Astronomer, Giovanni Domenico Cassini. Apart from being the second largest moon of Saturn, Rhea was also the second moon assini discovered in his Astronomical Career. Rhea has an average orbital speed of 8.48 kilometers per second, a surface gravity of 0.254 m/s² and an escape velocity of 0.635 km/s or 0.394 miles per second or 1418.4 mph(miles per hour). Rhea has a zero axial tilt and a surface temperature of between 53 Kelvin to 99 Kelvin. The goddess Rhea Rhea, The Moon, gets its name from The Traditional Classical World Religion's Titaness Rhea. Rhea was the daughter of The Earth goddess, Gaia, and The Sky god, Father Sky, Uranus. Rhea was also older sister of The Titan Cronus, Father Time, the father of The King of The gods, Zeus; so she would be aunt of Zeus. Also, though she was the wife of Cronus and in turn, Zeus was also her son. Cronus was foretold by his parents Gaia and Uranus, that he himself would be overthrown by his offspring. To prevent this proficy, he ate all of his children after being born. This made Rhea very upset and when her youngest son, Zeus, was born, she hid him away and fed Cronus a BIg Rock covered in a blanket. Her act would lead to Cronus's and The Titans defeat by Zeus and The Olympic gods including the one's Cronus ate. Introduction
Mimas, also known asd Saturn 1, is one of the moons of Saturn. With an orbital period of 0.942 Earth Days, Mimas has an average orbital speed of 14.28 kilometers per second. Mimas has a radius of 198.2 ±0.4 kilometers and a mass of 3.75 ×1019 kilograms. That makes Mimas the size of 0.0311 Earths. Mimas is just one of 82 confirmed moons (as of March 2020) orbiting Saturn. Profile of Mimas Mimas The Moon was discovered on September 17th, 1789 by German-Born British Astronomer William Herschel. A Crater on Mimas was even named after William Herschel, the crater being named Herschel. Mimas has a zero axis tilt and a gravity of 0.064 meters per second squared. In fact, the escape velocity for Mimas is 0.159 kilometers per second or 0.098 miles per second; so one does not need to go extremely fast in order to escape Mimas into Space but still would have to go 352.8 miles per hour. Mimas has an average temperature of 64 Kelvin or negative 209.15 degrees Celsius or negative 344.47 degrees Fahrenheit. Mimas is said to have a close resemblance to that of The Death Star in Star Wars. The Story of Mimas Mimas in The Traditional Classical World Religion, was a Giant and was the Son of Gaia, The Mother Earth goddess, who was birthed using the blood of the castrated Uranus, The Husband of Gaia known as Father Sky who was a Primal Classical World god. Mimas is known for fighting and dying in The Astronomic Battle between The Olympic gods and The Giants known as The Gigantomachy! In this battle of epic proportions, The King of The gods, Zeus, burned Mimas down until Mimas was nothing more than Ashes. Mimas was later buried under Prochyte, an Island off the Coast of Naples known as The Phlegraean Islands in Today's World Italy. |
