Talk:Phoebe (moon)

message: Am I reading that the diameter is 12955759 km (obviously not correct), or is there supposed to be some formatting that I'm missing?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orokusaki (talk • contribs) 20:27, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

message: The density of 0.7 given in the article, also given at Solarviews, seems to be incompatible with being a captured carbonaceous asteroids. I'll take the (estimated) value of 2.3 given at NASA's Solar System Dynamics. -- Looxix 22:41 May 6, 2003 (UTC)
The first sentence "outermost known moon of Saturn" is inconsistent with the list of Saturn's moons.
:Editted first paragraph to reflect new moons. --Patteroast 23:23, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Density

message: The figure quoted from http://exp.arc.nasa.gov/downloads/celestia/data/solarsys.ssc is extremely doubtful. That source dates back to April 2003, and Cassini got us a close look at Phoebe only in 2004. We need a recent source that actually gives the celestial coordinates of the bloody rotation pole.

thread_title:  Obliquity? 

message: In the introductory section it says "Cassini's trajectory to Saturn and time of arrival were specifically chosen to permit this [close] flyby."  But in the section titled Spacecraft flybys, it says "By a stroke of pure luck, Phoebe happened to be in the best part of its orbit to be photographed by the incoming Cassini probe."  Obviously the second statement about a "stroke of pure luck" is incorrect and should be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.73.31.50 (talk) 19:02, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

message: "Since the ring's particles are presumed to have originated from micrometeoroid impacts on Phoebe, they should share its retrograde orbit" <-from the Phoebe Ring section. 
I'm just a little confused. If it does have a retrograde orbit, shouldn't that be included under the orbital characteristics section as well?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.11.83.130 (talk) 19:22, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Can anyone find the very first photographic plate(s) that Pickering used to discover Phoebe (1898)? 
I cannot seem in find them in the JPL or NASA archives; while Ymir and many other irregular moons of Saturn have their discovery plates. IapetusCallistus (talk) 19:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
