Apa yang ada dengan perkataan Titan atau Titans? Mari kita selidik dan lihat beberapa point utama atau benda yang menarik untuk korang semua tahu. Aku pun baru je tahu lepas godak godik sana sini tadi. Best gak pakai nama titan nih rupanya
Titan is the fifteenth of Saturn’s known satellites and the largest. In Greek mythology the Titans were a family of giants, the children of Uranus and Gaia, who sought to rule the heavens but were overthrown and supplanted by the family of Zeus. Discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655 Â :twisted:
Titan was discovered on March 25, 1655, by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Huygens was inspired by Galileo’s discovery of Jupiter’s four largest moons in 1610 and his improvements on telescope technology. Huygens himself made advances in the technology and his discovery of Titan owed “partly to the quality of his telescope and partly to luck”. He named it simply Saturni Luna (or Luna Saturni, Latin for “Saturn’s moon”), publishing in the 1655 tract De Saturni Luna Observatio Nova. After Giovanni Domenico Cassini published his discoveries of four more moons of Saturn between 1673 and 1686, astronomers fell into the habit of referring to these and Titan as Saturn I through V (with Titan then in fourth position). Other early epithets for Titan include “Saturn’s ordinary satellite”. Titan is officially numbered Saturn VI because after the 1789 discoveries the numbering scheme was frozen to avoid causing any more confusion (Titan having borne the numbers II and IV as well as VI). Numerous small moons have been discovered closer to Saturn since then.
The name Titan, and the names of all seven satellites of Saturn then known, come from John Herschel (son of William Herschel, discoverer of Mimas and Enceladus) in his 1847 publication Results of Astronomical Observations Made at the Cape of Good Hope. He suggested the names of the mythological Titans, sisters and brothers of Cronos, the Greek Saturn.
Tu dia. Antara benda utama yang menyebabkan bulan Titan ini mendapat nama dan bagaimana ianya ditemui. Aku tidak berapa mahir tentang bulan Titan ini. Tetapi ianya menarik perhatian aku. Dalam banyak-banyak planet. Planet manakah yang mempunyai banyak bulan? Aku cuma tahu bahawa bumi ada satu sahaja bulan. Itupun namanya pun Bulan. Haha, kalau Titans adalah bulan untuk planet Saturn, bagaimanala pulak agaknya planet-planet lain? Masih ingatkah korang dengan pelajaran Sains ketika tingkatan 3 dahulu?
Hehe, aku buat post ini kerana terkenangkan study group aku yang dianggotai oleh 5 orang budak lelaki di sebuah kelas di sekolah kami pada hari sabtu. Bosan kan? Semua je laki. Pempuan langsung takde. Maklumlah, kami semua sibuk study. Tak ada masa nak cari pempuan. Ye ke?
Dan nak dijadikan cerita, topik stadi kami waktu tu adalah tentang planet. Tajuk PMR untuk subject Sains yang dah hujung-hujung. Dah nak kat habis silibus. Group kami memang habis silibus 4 bulan lebih awal berbanding sekolah kitaorang. Maklumlah, nak blah dari sekolah tu nak gi sekolah asrama penuh. So, aku dapat tajuk Planet Saturn dengan Pluto. So, citelah gak pasal bulan Titans nih. Dan kalau korang nak tahu, ini juga antara salah satu sebab aku pakai username titan atau titaniumhijau di forum luar dan forum malaysia ini. Banyak plak effect diluar dugaan aku. Alhamdulillah
