Saturn’s small moon discovered in Voyager 1 photographs is named Pandora.
Pandora is an inner satellite of Saturn and acts as an outer shepherd moon of the planet’s narrow F ring. Voyager 1 images revealed it in 1980, and the International Astronomical Union later approved the mythological name. Its companion shepherd moon Prometheus lies on the other side of the F ring.
The moon is irregularly shaped and heavily cratered. Its gravitational interaction with the F ring helps maintain and shape that ring’s narrow structure, although the ring is also affected by collisions and complex gravitational disturbances.
Pandora should not be confused with Epimetheus, another Saturnian moon whose name comes from the same mythological family. Saturn’s moon system contains many names drawn from Greek and Roman mythology, so similar names can be easy to mix up. In this case, Pandora is specifically the outer shepherd associated with the F ring.
