Saturnshine. I like it. They should make that the name of an after-shave or a song or something.

Nice photos. Makes you think that the definition of a moon should be tightened up though to only include those that look slightly ball shaped. I would call this a moonlet.

What a boring little lump. Where are the spaceports? Where are the sentinel satellites?

Does Uranus have a ring of debris around it?
