Scientific paper

The kinematics of two moons of Saturn that traverse the same orbit without ever colliding is analyzed. The physics is set out that shows that as a revolving body moves into a smaller orbit, some of its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and it moves faster. The reverse happens when a body moves into a larger orbit. It is analyticall shown that when the two moons, which move at different speeds, approach each other, they shift into different orbits and pass, and collision is avoided.
