Vastness of    Just the right Moon Janet Kuypers 7/9/19, the day Saturn is closest and brightest to Earth because Saturn is opposite the Sun as seen from the Earth Some may say they’re in love with our moon. It locks our tides and regulates our weather, this conglomeration of rock was once derived by a collision into Earth Mach One. This moon is the only interstellar object humankind has walked on, but really, when it comes to love affairs with a moon for astronomy-minded types like us, we still have to fall for Titan, Saturn’s moon that most closely resembles Earth during its origins in this Solar System. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, and the only moon known with a dense atmosphere. Titan’s climate — which has wind and rain — creates dunes, rivers, lakes, seas, and deltas (is this starting to sound more like Earth?) — and may be one reason NASA this past day shared news of NASA’s Dragonfly Mission to Search for Life on Saturn’s Moon Titan... good thing I saw this news on the same day that Saturn is closest and brightest to Earth, opposite the Sun as seen from the Earth, making tonight what they call a “full Saturn”. Wow, this means that tonight is the night I have the unique opportunity see a different moon, one orbiting with the rings of one of the most majestic planets, the one moon that shares so much history, that shares so much of a story like our own home. And when you’re looking across the vastness of outer space, finding something out there so much like your own planet’s story, well, that has to put a twinkle in your eye, and it reminds you how easy it is to fall in love.
