Saturn

 

saturnSaturn is the second largest planet in the solar system.

A huge hexagonal whirlwind spins non-stop around Saturn. Four earths could fit inside it.

The rings of Saturn are the most visible of all the planets. Although if you tried to see them with a naked eye, they would almost appear invisible!

Saturn has the least density of all the planets, it is the only one that would float on water.

Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is the second largest moon in the solar system after the Galilean moon Ganymede.

HD85512B

 

This is about the newly discovered planet called HD85512B.

Scientists think they have discovered a new planet that is just about suitable to have life on it. It is more often called “Goldilocks Planet” because it is just right. They have recorded it being 50 centigrade, almost hot as the 57 Celsius recorded in El Azizia in Libya. (The hottest temperature recorded on Earth).
