My first Saturnian birthday


Before getting my beauty sleep for tomorrow, I wanted to post this nerdy fact: today is my first Saturnian birthday.

One “year” on Saturn is the equivalent of 10,759.22 Earth days (29.4571 Earth years, according to Wikipedia), and as of today Saturn has completed one whole orbit around the Sun since the day I was born. It is in, relative to the rest of the solar system, the exact same spot as it was when I took my first breath of air. Crazy, huh? However, that is nothing. I can celebrate my first Uranian birthday when I am 84. Yowza. And I think it is safe to say none of us will ever reach our first Neptunian birthday at the Earth age of 164.
