Introduction
The Atlas, also known as S/1980 S 28, Saturn XV or R/2004 S 1, is a moon orbiting Saturn named after The Classical World Titan famous for holding The World over his head, one reason why a book of maps of The World is called an Atlas. Atlas has a mass of (6.60±0.45)×10^15 Kilograms, a Volume of 14,400 kilometers cubed, a mean radius of 15.1 kilometers and a mean density of 0.46 gram per centimeter cubed. Atlas has a surface gravity of 0.0002 meters per second squared with an escape velocity of around 0.0062 kilometers per second. Atlas has zero axial tilt and temperature of around 81 Kelvin or negative 192.15 degrees Celsius. Profile of Atlas Atlas was discovered on October 1980 by American Astronomer Richard John Terrile using Voyage 1. Atlas was named after The Classical World Atlas due to it holding rings on its shoulders. Atlas has somewhat of a spherical center surrounded by a large, smooth equatorial ridge. It takes Atlas 0.6016947883 Earth Days to Orbit Saturn. The Classical World Atlas Atlas was named after The Classical World god/titan Atlas. After The War between The Olympian gods and The Titans, known as Titanomachy, where The King of The gods Zeus battled his father Kronos for the title of The King of gods, Atlas was punished to hold up the celestial heavens for eternity, so bascially everything which The World Aloha calls The World.

Magnier. The reason for the lost discovery is because an orbit for this moon was not established back in 1975 so it becomes a footnote in the 1980s and wouldn't be rediscovered until 2000. Themisto has a strange orbital patterns as opposed to other Jupiter moons, for unlike the other moons, which orbit in a system like the Galilean moons, Themisto orbits alone. Themisto was named after The Classical World's Themisto would was the daughter of Hypeseus, The King of The Lapiths, and wife of Athamas, The Boeotian King. Introduction

Thalassa is a disk-shaped moon believed to be made up of different parts of broken pieces of other moons orbiting Neptune such as Triton. Origin Thalassa is named after The Classical World Primordial goddess of The Sea or Primeval Spirit of The Sea, Thalassa. Thalassa was the daughter of Aether, The Primordial god of the upper sky, and Hemera, The Primordial goddess of the day. Thalassa siblings were Gaia, The Primal Mother Earth goddess, and Uranus, The Primordial god of the sky. Thalassa is known for spawning the storm gods or giants and The tribes of fish. Also Thalassa is the mother of Aphrodite, The goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure, passion and procreation, and Halia, a nymph who lived on the island of Rhodes. Thalassa and her husband Pontus, The Primordial Sea god, would one be replaced by new marine god couples, first being Oceanus and Tethys, Titan god and goddess of the sea, and then Poseidon and Amphitrite, Olympian god and goddess of the sea. Introduction
Styx, also known as Pluto V, S/2012 (134340) 1, and S/2012 P, is the second-largest moon orbiting Pluto.

Profile of Styx Styx was discovered on July 26th 2012, by American Research Scientist Mark Robert Showalter using The Hubble Space Telescope. It is believed that all of Pluto's moons, including Styx, came to be by that of an object from the Kuiper Belt collided with Pluto, forming it's five moons (Charon, Styx, Hydra, Nix, Kerberos). Origin Styx receives its name from The Classical World's Titan goddess Styx. Styx was the daughter of The Titans Oceanus and The Titan Tethys. Styx married The Titan Pallas and mothered four kids named Zelus, Nike, Kratos and Bia. However, this is the Styx that the moon Styx owes its name to. For within The Classical World Religion, there is another Styx, but this Styx is neither god, goddess, man or woman; for this Styx is river. The Styx river is one of two rivers which split The Aloha World and The Haole World. Charon would take the dead past the two rivers and into the depths of Hades. 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. Introduction
In Ancient China, a Solar Eclipse was thought to be a Sun Eating Dragon, so what was a Lunar Eclipse? A Sun Reviving Phoenix? Not likely. At least there is no written record of that being the belief. A Lunar Eclipse like A Solar Eclipse, has to do with The Sun, The Earth, The Moon & The Position of The Trio Lunar Eclipse A Solar Eclipse is when The Moon cover The Sun's Position completely, The Opposite would be deadly, however, a semi opposite does happen. It's called a Lunar Eclipse. A Lunar Eclipse is when The Moon gets no shine from The Sun because it is completely on the opposite side of The Earth from our vision. Only the light from The Earth, shows it's even there. Conclusion The Lunar Eclipse, Like The Black Hole and Dark Matter, shows us that just because ye cannot see something, that does not mean it isn't there. We know of and feel wind. Can we see wind? How about our Skeletons, we know we have them, but can we see them? There are things that cannot be seen but are known to be, emotions for example. And sometimes, it's the invisible things that are the most important. Introduction
Thousands of years ago in Ancient China, there was a Tradition of stopping a Dragon from devouring The Sun. One random day, The Sun would just be sitting there, minding it own business in the morning sky, and then all of a sudden, it would go dark. A Dragon was eating it! The peoples of Ancient China, did not take this lightly. They made noise! They screamed at The Dragon and caused a ruckus to scare The Dragon away. This always worked, but why did this work every single time? Solar Eclipse Was there really a Sun-Eating Dragon in the sky, and did The People of Ancient China really have any effect on the course of this event? No to both questions. The people had absolutely no control on the event and there was no a Sun-Eating Dragon; because instead of a Dragon, was, The Moon. This particular event, they confused for a Dragon eating The Sun, is what is known in Today's World, as a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse is when The Moon, Luna, moves completely in front of The Sun from our direct sky view. This causing The Sun's Shine to be covered causes a brief night time. A Solar Eclipse can last up to 7 minutes and 31 seconds long. Definitely not a long enough night to get the recommended eight hours of sleep a man needs. Not to worry, the real night time will come later. Solar Eclipses occur on around The World about every 18 months though in some part of The World, it only occurs once every 360 to 420 years. Conclusion So it's not a Dragon eating The Sun, it's just the Moon covering it's shine. Old ideas are not dumb ideas, but with limited knowledge, one can only think of so much. As we grow as a species, we continue to improve our broad range our collective knowledge. We may 'know' a lot of things today, that in the future, may be wrong. We must not let certain knowledge be absolute. For once we were screaming at Dragons, and now, we view the same event with awe. What is fact today, can be fantasy tomorrow. Always remember to continue to improve, and we will continue to know more and more about The World. Introduction
Thebe, The Fourth Moon closest to Jupiter. Also known as Jupiter XIV, Thebe was discovered by Voyager 1 Space Probe in 1979 and it's original title was S/1979 J 2. Thebe is the second largest inner natural satellite of Jupiter and has craters and mountains the size of Luna(our moon). Biography Thebe has a surface area of 30,542.44 kilometers squared and a mean radius of 49.3 plus or minus 2 kilometers. Thebe has a surface gravity of 0.013 meters per second squared and zero axial tilt. Thebe's average orbital speed is 23.92 kilometers per second and it takes 0.6745 Earth days to orbit around Jupiter all the way around. Thebe has a volume of 500,000 kilometers cubed and it takes a velocity of 20-30 meters per second to escape its gravitational pull. Other characteristics are it's weird irregular shaped and it's reddish surface. Story The Classical World had a lot of characters in their Traditional Religion with the name of Thebe. Thebe in one count is the daughter of Cilix, whose brothers were Cadmus, Phoenix & Europa, and was wife to Corybas who was a son of Cybele. In a another account Thebe is a titaness who is named Phoebe. In a another telling, Thebe is an Amazon, a warrior woman of the Amazon tribe who lived somewhere in Asia Minor(Anatolia) which was in Ancient Troy in modern day Turkey. In a another account Thebe is eponym of Thebes, Egypt who was also a consort of Zeus(Jupiter in Roman). In one other account Thebe is a daughter of Zeus and Megaclieite and sister of Locrus. Locrus helped build the city of Thebes. Thebe has many accounts, most revolving around Zeus/Jupiter, so it only makes sense that one of the moons that revolves around Jupiter in space. Introduction
As of recent, Jupiter has been surpassed by Saturn for the most moons in The Solar System for a planet. This does not mean that Jupiter does not have good amount of moons. Jupiter has a total of 79 moons. One of them is Autonoe. Autonoe is was discovered of an Astronomy Team at The University of Hawaii in 2001. It once was called S/2001 J/1. Another name today for Autonoe is Jupiter XXVIII. Biography of Autonoe Autonoe has a surface area of 50.27 kilometers squared and a radius of 2 kilmeters. Autonoe's surface gravitational rate of 0.002 meters per second squared. The speed of Autonoe's orbit around Jupiter is 8056.60 kilometers per hour. It takes around 761 Earth days to revolve around Jupiter. Story In The Traditional Classical World Religion, Autonoe was a Theban Princess who was the oldest daughter of The founder of Thebes, Cadmus and of the goddess of harmony and concord, Harmonia. In legend, she and her sibling sisters went berserk for The god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, fertility, ritual madness, religious ecstasy & Theatre, Dionysus.
