Pandora

[mmcirvin]

The best view ever of Pandora, an inner moon of Saturn orbiting just outside the F ring, taken on Monday. Pandora looks a lot like the nearby moon Prometheus, which orbits just inside the F ring; it's elongated with its long axis pointing toward Saturn. To my eyes the surface features on Pandora look smoothed out, as if they're buried in loose dust; you see that on a lot of small bodies, such as Comet Tempel 1.
