[QUOTE="nobbly, post: 13681, member: 175033"] Was thinking where does the word Satellite come from and what it means. Searched the web and came up with different answers. The word ''Satellite'' comes from a Latin word meaning bodyguard or ''attendant''. A Satellite such as the moon moves around the Earth the way an ''attendant'' or ''bodyguard" accompanies an important person. The word satellite originally came from the French language. It was a name for a guard or attendant. In 1611, the German astronomer Johannes Kepler gave the word a new meaning. This word comes from the Latin "satelles" and signifies: subalt_ern, who executes the orders of a chief. So, what is the real answer. nobbly [/QUOTE]
