Saturn’s moon associated with the Pandora myth and discovered in Voyager 1 images is named Pandora.
Pandora is a small irregular moon of Saturn that was first identified in photographs taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1980. It is known as an outer shepherd satellite of Saturn’s narrow F ring, working with the moon Prometheus to influence the ring’s structure. Its mythological name follows a naming tradition in which Saturnian moons draw from figures connected with classical mythology.
Pandora is sometimes confused with 55 Pandora, an asteroid in the main belt discovered in 1858. The two objects share a name but differ in type, location, and discovery history. Pandora’s low density and irregular shape reflect its small size, and its orbit lies outside the F ring. Prometheus, the other F-ring shepherd, is an inner satellite.
