FACTS AND FICTION ABOUT SATURN: The Talk & TOUR

The sixth, the only planet uniquely surrounded by the rings made of rocks, Saturn is undoubtedly the most mysterious planet of the Solar system, surrounded by myths for as long as the man has discovered it. Unsurprisingly, The Members of Saturn Youth Group were mesmerised by it and worked towards the ambitious plans to inhabit Saturn, to only find out that the planet’s surface is gas. While this discovery might have been the beginning of the group falling apart, we, their descendants, continue to research this unthinkable giant of a celestial body.
