Hello everyone! Welcome to our channel. In today’s video Smart Banana is going to tell you about weirdly shaped moons, planets, and other space objects. Did you know that there’s a Pizza moon or a planet shaped like a pie? If you’re curious to find out what they are, please keep watching.
Well. First of all, Saturn has ravioli-shaped moon 00:35. Named after the half-man, half-goat satyr from Greek mythology, Pan is nestled in the Encke Gap within Saturn's A ring. The leading idea of how Pan got this tasty shape is that the flange of ice around its equatorial bulge is ring material swept up and collected by the moon as it cruises through the Encke Gap. During the last stages the rings were very thin and so the material falling onto Pan at this time came down on its equator and built the ridge you see.
But what we definitely want to see with our own eyes is Synestia - planetary 'megadonut' 02:15. Synestias are massive, spinning, donut-shaped masses of hot, vaporized rock formed as planet-sized objects smash into each other. Just imagine a doughnut-shaped ring of debris full of molten rock that forms in the aftermath of a protoplanet collision. WOW!
It's all what we want to share with you. Space butterfly, potato moon, cigar-shaped interstellar comet and much more interesting stuff you will find inside the video. So... Stay with us!
