O Baby, What's Your Secret?

Linda Louise Johnson
Baby moons

made of icedust

dance around a ring

in a circle of rings

so majestic

man has ever

yearned to know

their secret.

The secret

of the shining bands

that circle Saturn,

still spinning off

dust, energy and ice

making moonlets

that hug the mother ring

that gave them birth.

Newborns in space

New moons in time

whispering the secret

God is not done.

"An MSNBC story from June 9th states that scientists have discovered that Saturn's rings have been birthing Moons from energy reactions that are occurring with dust and ice found on the rings. The discovery of Saturn's moons being the offspring of its rings is a new concept for scientists. Kim Clement's prophecy, which was spoken before the news was announced, specifically refers to Saturn's rings, dust, ice and energy."

The rings of Saturn might have given birth to the giant planet's odd, small moons, scientists now reveal. These unusual moons, some of which resemble flying saucers, might have clumped together from the bits of ice and dust that make up Saturn's majestic bands.

"There are still new objects forming in the solar system today," said planetary scientist Sebastien Charnoz at the Universite Paris Diderot in France. "We used to think everything was formed four, five billion years ago, but no! New objects are still forming today." . . ."This tells us that there are different ways to form solar system bodies," he added. "It tells us also that giant planets' environment are much more dynamic than previously thought and that we have still a lot of things to learn."
