Pandora is a natural satellite of Saturn.
Saturn’s moon Pandora was discovered in 1980 by Voyager 1 images and received its name from the mythological Pandora. It is a small, irregular moon that acts as an outer shepherd satellite of Saturn’s narrow F ring, working with the moon Prometheus to influence the ring’s structure.
Pandora and Prometheus are especially notable because their names echo the Greek mythological relationship between the two brothers. In the Saturn system, however, they are moons rather than mythological characters, and Pandora is the outer shepherd of the F ring.
The moon should not be confused with Pandora in the Avatar franchise, which is a fictional moon orbiting the giant planet Polyphemus. Saturn’s Pandora is a real Solar System object observed by spacecraft and studied through telescopic and mission data.
