Summary

Irregular prograde satellites of Saturn.

Main graph

The position of a satellite represents

  • its orbit’s semi-major axis a in Gm (distance from the centre)
  • orbit’s inclination i in degrees (angle).
  • the size of the circle illustrates the satellites's size relative to others:

The eccentricity of the orbit is shown indirectly by a segment extending from the left (pericenter) to the apocentre to the right. In other words, the segment illustrates the variations of the object's distance from the planet.
