Every 13 to 15 years, Saturn's rings align perfectly with Earth's line of sight, making them appear nearly invisible. Given that the rings are only tens of meters thick in most places, they become ...

These impacts fragmented larger bodies. A group of 47 of these moons is formed by a large impact in the past and is called Mundilfari.

The researchers suggest that a recent collision, that may have occurred at least 100 million years ago, may have created the Mundilfari subgroup, a hypothesis that was previously advanced in a 2021 ...

The scientists who spotted the moons named a 47-strong group “Mundilfari” and apparently speculate they may have been the result of a collision in near-Saturn space that took place as recently as 100 ...

Technically, they’re still moons whether you like it or not. More on that in a moment. Many of them cluster near the Mundilfari subgroup, a region believed to be the site of a cataclysmic collision ...

Most of the 128 new moons are near the Mundilfari moons. Mundilfari is a figure from Norse mythology and the name of one of Saturn's moons and a subgroup of irregular moons orbiting Saturn.

The high concentration of these small moons near the Mundilfari subgroup suggests that this region may have been the site of a significant collision in the past. This discovery not only cements Saturn ...

He said a group of the newly discovered moons is located near the so-called Mundilfari subgroup, leading them to suspect that a “catastrophic collision” broke up a now-destroyed moon ...
