S/2004 S 6











Key Facts
Whoa, What Is That Little Guy?
S/2004 S 6 is a super tiny moon that orbits the giant planet Saturn. It's not a planet itself, but a little buddy that goes around Saturn. Think of Saturn as a big playground, and S/2004 S 6 is one of the many tiny toys spinning around it. It's so small, it's hard to even see from Earth!
Where Does This Moon Hang Out?
This speedy moon lives in space, far, far away from Earth! It's a neighbor to Saturn, one of the biggest planets in our solar system. S/2004 S 6 is really close to Saturn, closer than many of Saturn's other moons. It zooms around Saturn in a very fast circle, like a merry-go-round that never stops!
How Fast Can It Go?
S/2004 S 6 is a super-fast moon! It whips around Saturn in just about 18 hours. That means it has a whole 'day' on Saturn in less time than it takes you to go to school and back! It's one of the fastest moons Saturn has, making it a real speed demon in space.
What's It Made Of, Anyway?
Scientists think S/2004 S 6 is made of mostly rock and ice. It's probably not very big, maybe only a few miles across, which is smaller than many cities on Earth! Because it's so small and far away, it's tricky to know exactly what it looks like, but we know it's a rocky, icy traveler.
