  • From rupturing moons to walls of rubble 2 miles high, the dramatic transformations of the Ringed Planet are phenomenal to behold.

      Earth, having the laws of nature as evidence.
      Earth is a habitual planet with the proper gasses to sustain life.
      The universe is full of anomalies, and gasses that can kill or sustain life. A random selection, depending on the energy produced in the solar system. The solar system is a body of colliding energy moving in the universe, with a sun as its center. Drawing massive energy, feeding like an amoeba. The laws of nature, we are here to feed the planet, in return, feeding the sun until it becomes a supernova moving in the milky way that moves around in the universe, feeding the universe. Which is another body of energy.

    There's an awesome young adult sci-fi story called "The Secret of Saturn's Rings." A scientist is trying to stop mining on Earth's Moon, because he thinks it'll ultimately lead to it breaking apart. He and his son go to Saturn to investigate the rings to see if it might've been a moon in the past, and discover ancient artifacts from an alien race. Seems they over-mined THAT moon! Any way, it's a great story for kids and teens, that's when I read it decades ago.

    The mega object that tilted Uranus could have thrust Saturn's ice moon into the upper atmosphere. Same thing with young Earth and the collision with the planet that formed the Moon. Asteroid belt forming into what we see today. Young Mars being bombarded with solar debris from the Asteroid Belt. Pluto being struck thus forming Charon, escaping orbit as a moon of Neptune.
