Inside Science on Instagram: "Discovered in 1990, Pan is one of Saturn’s strangest moons — a miniature world only 35 km across, orbiting within the Encke Division of Saturn’s A ring. Its unusual dumpling-like shape isn’t random — it formed as ring particles gradually piled onto its surface, creating a ridge around its equator. #Saturn #PanMoon #CassiniMission #Astronomy #PlanetaryScience #Cosmos #SpaceExploration #NASA #PhysicsOfOrbits #inside_science_"

Inside Science on Instagram: "🏹 Why the Horizontal Speed of a Projectile Never Changes Follow @inside_science_ for daily insights that make physics come alive ⚙️ When you launch a ball, an arrow, or even a rocket, its motion splits into two independent parts — horizontal and vertical. The horizontal speed (velocity along the x-axis) stays constant throughout the flight, as long as air resistance is ignored. That’s because once the projectile leaves your hand, no external horizontal force acts o
