When we say Saturn, we say the giant-ringed planet that by looks is the most attractive in the solar system. First discovered by Galileo, Saturn is now better known thanks to the exploration of the mission. The dominant gas in Saturn's atmosphere is hydrogen, but small amounts of helium and methane are also present. The possibility to sustain life has not been excluded in reference to Saturn's satellites, though, but studies are in progress, and until we have more conclusive data, all remains pure speculation.
