Pandora, one of Saturn’s small moons, orbits Saturn.
Pandora was discovered in 1980 from images taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft. It is an irregularly shaped moon located near Saturn’s F ring, where its gravity helps act as a shepherd satellite alongside the moon Prometheus.
The moon was named Pandora after the figure in Greek mythology. Its name is connected to the mythological Pandora’s box, but the moon itself is an astronomical body with a diameter of only a few dozen kilometres.
Pandora is sometimes confused with Prometheus because the two moons work together around the F ring and their names come from Greek mythology. They are separate moons, however, and both orbit Saturn rather than Jupiter or another giant planet.
