Saturn’s small moon discovered by Voyager 1 and linked to Pandora’s Box is named Pandora.
Pandora is an inner moon of Saturn. Voyager 1 images revealed it in October 1980, and astronomers later confirmed its orbit and physical characteristics. The moon is irregularly shaped and acts as an outer shepherd satellite of Saturn’s narrow F ring, helping influence the ring’s structure together with Prometheus.
Its name comes from Pandora in Greek mythology, the woman associated with the container that released troubles into the world. This is separate from 55 Pandora, a main-belt asteroid discovered in 1858; the moon and asteroid share a mythological name but are different astronomical bodies.
Pandora is much smaller than Saturn’s major moons and has a heavily cratered surface. Because it orbits close to the F ring, it is often discussed alongside Prometheus, whose orbit lies on the ring’s inner side.
