AstroPhil

Welcome to AstroPhil! I'm Phil Sutton, a Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics at the University of Lincoln. I teach most areas of astronomy and astrophysics, from planets to the universe as a whole. My main interests are on the smaller end of the scale, like planets and moons. I also spend a considerable amount of time bridging the gap between professional astronomy and astrophysics to those that have an interest in anything space related.&nbsp;This channel is place to find out about the universe and how we discover new astronomical objects in a clear understandable manner.&nbsp; I aim to schedule a video a week but usually create videos in bulk to fit around the academic year. However, if you subscribe and get notifications you will always get the latest videos when they are uploaded before they are released.

Pan might be one of the smallest moons of Saturn but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting. This tiny city sized moon is the innermost moon of Saturn and actually orbits within Saturn's rings, causing waves on the ring edge. It may be small but its odd walnut shape makes it stand above it larger siblings.Thank you for supporting my channel and helping me make free educational space videos! For only a few pennies a day you help to support the creation of free space and astronomy videos, thank you.

Prometheus might be a small moon located near the edge of Saturn's rings but it plays a vital role in the growth of smaller moonlets within the rings.Thank you for supporting my channel and helping me make free educational space videos!

While Mimas is further away from Saturn's rings its extra mass is capable of creating the Cassini Division, a gap in the rings that can be seen from your own back garden.Thank you for supporting my channel and helping me make free space videos! For this level of support you get early access to videos (Ad-free) before they are posted to YouTube (1 - 6 month) and all patreon posts.

Mimas

Dione is a mid-size moon of Saturn and the fourth largest of Saturn's moons, which could be hiding a hidden sub-surface ocean. Maybe this medium moon is capable of supporting life!Thank you for supporting my channel and helping me make free space videos! For this level of support you get all the previous benefits but with additional generosity.
