Prometheus (moon)

Prometheus

Prometheus, also known as Saturn XVI, is a natural satellite of the outer planet, Saturn. Prometheus was discovered sometime in October 1980 by an American astronomer from the Voyager 1 probe.

Prometheus is extremely elongated, measuring approximately 137 km × 81 km × 56 km (85 mi × 50 mi × 35 mi). It has several ridges and valleys and a number of impact craters of about 20 km (12 mi) diameter are visible, but it is less cratered than nearby Pandora, Epimetheus, and Janus. From its very low density and relatively high albedo, it is likely that Prometheus is a very porous icy body. There is much uncertainty in these values, however, and so this remains to be confirmed.

Surface Features[]

The surface of Prometheus is remarkably smooth and consistent, and the planet commonly interacts with the F ring of Saturn.
