Saturn is the 15th Celestial Body and the 2nd Gaseous Planet obtained in The Beyond Bubble Universe, which can generate Stardust. (Unlocked at Rank 6, branching off of Jupiter)

In-Game Description

"Saturn is often called the Jewel of the Solar System because of its unique and beautiful appearance. Composed mostly of gas, Saturn is known for the visually striking rings that encircle the planet."

Traits

Common

• Ammonia Crystals (Speed):

"Saturn’s pale yellow color comes from ammonia crystals in the atmosphere. These crystals form clouds similar to those found on Jupiter."

• Ring Formation (Payout):

"Saturn is known for its large, visually striking rings of ice, dust, and carbon. Scientists theorize that they may be the debris of a destroyed moon."

Rare

• Failed Stars (Payout):

"Gas giants are planets made of hydrogen and helium, the same basic elements as a star. Unlike stars, they never experienced the conditions necessary to trigger nuclear fusion. Instead, they exist as layers of hydrogen around a molten core."

Epic

• Speed of Light (Speed):

"The speed of light is the rate at which light and all massless particles travel through a vacuum. While it can seem instantaneous from up close, over long distances this speed limit becomes very noticeable. The theory of relativity relates to the speed of light."

• Cosmic Gravity (Payout):

"Gravity is one of the fundamental forces and key to understanding how the universe works. Using Newton’s principles, astronomers can explain how stars and planets form, predict their mass and motion, and infer the existence of dark matter."

• Goldilocks Zone (Discount):

"The Goldilocks Zone, also called the Habitable Zone, is the region around a star with conditions necessary for a planet that can sustain life. Planets like Earth, with surface water and breathable atmospheres, might be found in these zones in other systems."

Constellations

• Scorpio (1.5x Speed):

"One of the brightest constellations in the sky, Scorpio represents a scorpion. It includes the red star Antares, sometimes called the “heart of the scorpion” because of its placement and color."

• Taurus (2x Speed):

"Taurus, the bull, marked the location of the Sun during the spring equinox in Bronze Age Europe. Taurus contains two important clusters of stars, the Pleiades and the Hyades."

Astronomy Mission

Saturn's Astronomy Mission is one of its smaller moons, Mimas.

Satellites

Saturn has a total of 146 natural satellites. Of these 146, three are present in the game. These include the largest moon Titan, sixth largest Enceladus, and Mimas. Additionally, Saturn also has a ring system.

Mimas

"Mimas is a very small moon - only 396 kilometers in diameter, with a surface area slightly smaller than the country of Spain. It is made mostly of ice and features a massive crater named after the moon's discoverer, William Herschel."

Achievements

• Should've Put a Ring On It (Rank 5):

"While all four of the outer planets have rings, only Saturn has a ring that is visible to the naked eye. Saturn’s ring system is also much larger and more complex than those of Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune."

• Party Like It's 399 (CE) (Rank 8):

"Saturn is named for the Roman god of agriculture. He was one of the most important gods in the pantheon, and one of the largest Roman festivals, Saturnalia, was held in his honor. It was celebrated with sacrifices and general debauchery."
