Saturn's Day

The moon has always played a remarkable role in art and literature around the world. Artists and writers have used the moon as a significant symbol in their works.

Earth has one moon. Does this uniqueness make it special?

Did you know Saturn has 146 moons — as of a year ago today?

"Saturn is home to a vast array of intriguing and unique worlds. From the haze-shrouded surface of Titan to crater-riddled Phoebe, each of Saturn's moons tells another piece of the story surrounding the Saturn system. As of June 8, 2023, Saturn has 146 moons in its orbit, with others continually awaiting confirmation of their discovery and official naming by the International Astronomical Union (IAU)."

If, instead of Earth, we lived on Saturn, which has 146 moons, would we consider these moons remarkable enough to use them as symbols in our literature?
