Default ASTRO Images of Saturn (1) - Spotting the Shepherd Moon

Images of Saturn (1) - Spotting the Shepherd Moon

Across the darkened expanse of Saturn's rings, the Cassini spacecraft
spies one of the F-ring shepherd moons.

Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across) orbits Saturn just beyond
the outer edges of the F ring. Close to the planet, the image of the
rings is slightly distorted by Saturn's upper atmosphere.
