Extract

The NASA Voyager spacecraft missions to the outer planets have provided a wealth of observational data with regard to the physical and chemical properties of the attendant satellite systems. Although the gaseous nebula discs from which these satellites are suspected to have formed are no longer present, these data provide at least some basis from which the characteristics of individual nebula can be deduced.
