The first thing we noticed about Saturn (other than its nature as a planet) was the extensive system of rings orbiting around its equator. These are thought to be the pulverized remnants of a small moon. In addition, Saturn is special for its size (second-largest planet in the Solar System), and for the fact that it is what's known as a gas giant -- that is, unlike the smaller planets, it has nothing we would recognize as a surface. Instead, Saturn is made mainly of hydrogen.
