 * Saturn the Greatest: Home of the Fighting Mongooses

Come to amazing Saturn, discovered in 1610 by the famous Galileo. We have tons of room for activities; the equatorial diameter of the planet is 120,540km. You can stay on one of its 25 satellites. We also have the best research facilities with the best scientists. They have recently made an amazing discovery. Here is their research:

We are also home to the Fighting Mongooses.

Come during spring, winter, fall, or summer. We experience seasons because of our 27° axis tilt. Here you can swim in its ocean-like atmosphere(made of hydrogen and helium) and because it has no solid surface, and thus, no geographic features like volcanoes or fault lines. Other activites would include ring skating, fishing in the ring, and moon jumping. It would be perfect to stay here in the summer because each season lasts 7.5 years! That means 7.5 years of vacation, of the great summer sun, and of its amazing temperatures, which range from -191°C to -130°C. Don't worry if Saturn is so far from the sun; it gives off 2.5 times more heat than it gets from the sun. This phenomenon comes from energy made by slowly sinking helium through liquid hydrogen is its interior. Also, when you get back you can brag to all of your friends that you did a lot of all-nighters because each day is 10 hours and 39 minutes. Caution, be careful when on the planet's surface, you will sink to the bottom. If you come you will be greeted by Franklin Bluth (as shown here):



There are new state-of-the-art space shuttles provided by Dayman Airlines to take you to Saturn. These shuttles can travel 30,000km/hr. Because saturn is 1.2-1.7 billion kilometers away, then it'll only take 5.7 years to get there(less than one season)!
