Saturn as a baby (maybe...)

I don't think this is going to work, but I'll try any way. Perhaps, if you are lucky, this link will show you Saturn as a baby.

I don't get it. :? Maybe you have to be Danish or Scandinavian or something. :wink:

It looks more like Jupiter than Saturn, and the whole thing looks more like a pacifier than a baby anything.

But what do I know. I flunked the ink blot test. :shock:

The caption doesn't quite say "baby" (that would have been "Saturn som barn"), but rather "young Saturn". My best guess that it's meant to look like the rings turned into a randomly placed body piercing.

Indeed, the whole thing looks like a pacifier. I thought that was funny. You know, when Saturn was a baby it didn't look like "the ringed planet", it looked like a pacifier!

My type of humour, I guess.

Henning's explanation makes more sense, but, still, something is lost in the translation.

Yeah, the pacifier thing makes no sense at all. That would be "Saturn as an object which babies use"
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Okay, Saturn as baby equipment, perhaps?

These are the kinds of postings someone finds who is looking to scientifically educate themselves?

Welcome to the Open Space section of the forum, old... don't like it, go back to the more serious areas of the forum. Maybe you failed to realize where you are. :)
