the apollo 10 crew are also the humans who have traveled the farthest away from home, some from their homes and families in houston. while most apollo missions orbited the moon at the same from the lunar surface, the distance between the earth and moon varies by about , between perigee and apogee, throughout each lunar month, and the earth's rotation makes the distance to houston vary by another each day. the apollo 10 crew reached the farthest point in their orbit around the far side of the moon at about the same time earth's rotation put houston nearly a full earth diameter away.

twenty-four of saturn's moons are "regular satellites"; they have prograde orbits not greatly inclined to saturn's equatorial plane. they include the seven major satellites, four small moons that exist in a trojan orbit with larger moons, two mutually co-orbital moons and two moons that act as shepherds of saturn's f ring. two other known regular satellites orbit within gaps in saturn's rings. the relatively large hyperion is locked in a resonance with titan. the remaining regular moons orbit near the outer edge of the a ring, within g ring and between the major moons mimas and enceladus. the regular satellites are traditionally named after titans and titanesses or other figures associated with the mythological saturn.
