Talk:Daphnis (moon)

Name

In Liddell & Scott, Greek nominative daphnis, genitive daphnidos: bayberry, bay-tree (laurel tree).

"Daphnis" (daf'-nis) is cognate with the name Daphne (daf'-nee), Greek daphnê, the nymph named after the laurel tree. There does not appear to be an adjectival form of Daphnis in English, but the regular derivation would be from the Greek genitive, so we could expect Daphnidian (daf-nid'-ee-un). The English adjectival form of Daphne in the dictionaries, by contrast, is "Daphnean" (daf'-nee-un), from Greek daphnaios, Latin daphnæus.

discovery date

Just wondering what is the usual convention used among all these satellites for the discovery date? The date of publication or date of first observation? For example Daphnis here, has the publication date in the infobox. Deuar 22:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Bug in Celestia

The bug

I don't know if this is relevant, but in Celestia version 1.6.0 for Windows XP, when one tries to go to Daphnis, a ring appears to slice through the moon. I think it's a bug. (I could do a picture...) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 06:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Is the term "gravitational waves" correct?

On the 1st image, the description says: "Daphnis was resolved into a disc for the first time in this 2005 Cassini probe image. The gravitational waves on the edges of the rings, which had earlier hinted at the moon's presence, are clearly visible.[6]".

I don't know enough about this subjet, but is "gravitational waves" the correct term? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kytetiger (talk • contribs) 12:56, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
