Detailed explanation-1: -With its distant, inclined orbit, Iapetus is the only large moon from which there is a nice view of the rings of Saturn.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of these was Iapetus, which may have formed from an early, massive collision in the young Saturnian system, or was perturbed out of the Saturnian plane through gravitational interactions. Iapetus, of Saturn’s eight major moons, becomes the only one from which the ring system is visible.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cassini named the four moons that he discovered (Iapetus, Rhea, Dione, and Tethys) the Sidera Lodoicea, or the Stars of Louis, after King Louis XIV.
Detailed explanation-4: -Iapetus [eye-AP-i-tus] is one of the stranger moons of Saturn. Its density is similar to that of Rhea, indicating that it has a small allotment of rocky materials. Its leading side is dark with a slight reddish color while its trailing side is bright.
