Pandora is a moon of Saturn. It is one of Saturn’s small, irregular satellites and is best known as an outer shepherd satellite of Saturn’s narrow F ring.
Astronomers discovered Pandora in photographs taken by Voyager 1 in October 1980. The moon received its name from Pandora, the figure in Greek mythology whose jar released troubles into the world. Saturn’s moons are frequently named after figures from Greek and Roman mythology, although the naming tradition includes several related mythological groups.
Pandora is not the same object as the much larger Titan, Saturn’s best-known moon, or the asteroid 55 Pandora. Those separate astronomical bodies share a mythological name but belong to different classes of objects.
