The model, the only one of its kind, (54)___

There is a (56)___ such as Jupiter and
Saturn, and the terrestrial plants, such as
Earth or Pluto. Whereas the giants are sur-
rounded by rings and a myriad of small natu-

moons, or just one and no rings. Until now,
two models (57)___ to explains the presence
of regular satellites in our solar system.
These indicate that the satellites of the ter-
restrial planets like Earth or Pluto were
formed following a giant collision. They also
indicate that the satellites of the giant planets
were formed in a nebula (58)___ the planet.
They do not, account for the specific distri-
bution and chemical composition of the sat-
ellites orbiting the giant planets.
In 2010 and 2011, a French research
team developed a new model to describe
how Saturn's moons came into being based
on numerical simulations and Cassini probe
data. The researchers discovered that Saturn's
rings, (59)___ are very thin disks made up of
small blocks of ice surrounding the planet, in
turn gave birth to ice satellites. This is due to
the fact that the rings spread over time and,
when they reach a certain distance from the
planet (known as the Roche limit or Roche
radius), (60)___ ends agglomerate and form
small bodies that break off and move away.
This is how rings give birth to satellites orbit-
ing the planet.
