Narvi /ˈnɑːrvi/ or Saturn XXXI is a natural satellite of Saturn. It was discovered by a team of astronomers led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2003, and given the temporary designation S/2003 S 1.

Description

Narvi is about 7 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 19,371,000 km in 1006.541 days, at an inclination of 137° to the ecliptic (109° to Saturn's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.320. Narvi's rotation period is 10.21±0.02 hours.[2]

Naming

It was named in January 2005 after Narfi, a giant in Norse mythology. The name was approved by the IAU Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature on 21 January 2005.

gollark: According to the interweb™ you get 80 to 160MB/s or so from a HDD.

gollark: Gigabit is 125MB/s or so minus overhead, and HDDs can do that fine.

gollark: They did say they're not "super crazy into [it]", so studying it (in the sense of at some actual educational institution) would probably not be a great idea.

gollark: It's more of a vertical integration thing.

gollark: ARMvwhatever are the ISAs, which ARM licenses, and they design cores for running those too.
