Hello.

This post is the answer to the riddle from the previous post.
Seeing the Saturn telescope with obscure appendages, Galileo decided that he had discovered the satellites of Saturn. Galileo composed an anagram Smaismrmielmepoetaleumibuvnenugttaviras 

 The riddle was written in Latin, and that’s how Galileo interpreted it Altissimum planetam tergeminum observavi(The highest planet observed three times). The truth after a while found out that these are just rings of Saturn.Johannes Kepler presented his version of the riddle, which sounded like Salve, umbistineum geminatum Martia proles (Greetings to you, twins, Mars generation). Kepler decided that Galileo had discovered two satellites of Mars. 

 The answer turned out to be wrong, but after 250 years the scientists confirmed the existence of Mars two satellites, Deimos and Phobos.
Thank you
