Summary
Saturn's moon, Dione, is approximately 698 miles wide and the fifteenth largest moon in the solar system. This article tells us about how humans have discovered that Saturn's icy moon, called Dione, has an atmosphere. Although we have found that it has an atmosphere we discovered that it is a very thin one. The Saturnian Satellite discovered the atmosphere on a recent flyby of the planet. The article does tell us that although we consider the atmosphere to be thin, it is still strong enough to disturb the magnetic field that Saturn has.

I find that it is very interesting that a moon is 698 miles wide, because i think that one mile is a long way. Also, it is cool that there are so many moons in the solar system other than ours. If we begin to find other planets that have moons with atmospheres then maybe we can find other places that can support life on earth.
