Shepherd Moon Face-Off! 21 December 2012, by Jason Major Shepherd Moon face-off! 21 December 2012, by Jason Major Here's Pandora, as seen by Cassini on September 5, 2005: False-color image of Pandora. Credit: NASA/JPL/SSI Raw Cassini image acquired on Dec. 18, 2012. Credit: NASA/JPL/SSI …and here's Prometheus, seen during a close pass in 2010 and color-calibrated by Gordan Ugarkovic: Two of Saturn's shepherd moons face off across the icy strand of the F ring in this image, acquired by the Cassini spacecraft on December 18, 2012. In the left corner is Pandora, external shepherd of the ropy ring, and in the right is Prometheus, whose gravity is responsible for the subtle tug on the wispy ring material. (Please don't blame the moon for any recent unsatisfying sci-fi films of the same name. There's no relation, we promise.) Similar in size (Pandora is 110 x 88 x 62 km, Prometheus 148 x 100 x 68 km) both moons are porous, icy, potato-shaped bodies covered in craters—although Prometheus' surface is somewhat smoother in appearance than Pandora's, perhaps due to the gradual buildup of infalling material from the F ring. Check out some much closer images of these two moons below, acquired during earlier flybys: 1 / 2 Prometheus casting a shadow through F ring haze. Credit: NASA/JPL/SSI/Gordan Ugarvovic The external edge of the A ring with the thin Keeler gap and the wider Encke gap can be seen at the right of the top image. Both of these gaps also harbor their own shepherd moons—Daphnis and Pan, respectively. These moons keep their gaps clear, as well as maintain the crisp edge shapes of the nearby rings—hence the term "shepherd." Source: Universe Today APA citation: Shepherd Moon face-off!

Analyses of Cassini imaging data with this model reveals that the moons Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene are darker than one would expect given trends previously observed among the nearby mid-sized satellites. On the other hand, the trojan moons Calypso and Helene have substantially brighter surfaces than their co-orbital companions Tethys and Dione. These observations are inconsistent with the moons' surface brightnesses being entirely controlled by the local flux of E-ring par- ticles, and therefore strongly imply that other phenomena are affecting their surface properties. The darkness of Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene is correlated with the fluxes of high-energy protons, implying that high-energy radiation is responsible for darkening these small moons. Meanwhile, Prometheus and Pandora appear to be brightened by their interactions with nearby dusty F ring, implying that enhanced dust fluxes are most likely responsible for Calypso's and Helene's excess brightness.

Owen, Jr. Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109-8099 Received 2006 February 28; accepted 2006 April 12 ABSTRACT We report on the orbits of the small, inner Saturnian satellites, either recovered or newly discovered in recent Cassini imaging observations. The orbits presented here reflect improvements over our previously published values in that the time base of Cassini observations has been extended, and numerical orbital integrations have been performed in those cases in which simple precessing elliptical, inclined orbit solutions were found to be inadequate. Using combined Cassini and Voyager observations, we obtain an eccentricity for Pan 7 times smaller than previously reported because of the predominance of higher quality Cassini data in the fit. The orbit of the small satellite (S/2005 S1 [Daphnis]) discovered by Cassini in the Keeler gap in the outer A ring appears to be circular and coplanar; no external perturbations are appar- ent. Refined orbits of Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Janus, and Epimetheus are based on Cassini , Voyager, Hubble Space Telescope, and Earth-based data and a numerical integration perturbed by all the massive satellites and each other.

When we observe a star or a galaxy we see the photons produced at the moment of their production, their travel could have been incredibly long: it may be lasted millions or billions of years.

  • Multi-Body Mission Design in the Saturnian System with Emphasis on Enceladus Accessibility
    MULTI-BODY MISSION DESIGN IN THE SATURNIAN SYSTEM WITH EMPHASIS ON ENCELADUS ACCESSIBILITY A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Purdue University by Todd S. Brown In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2008 Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana ii “My Guide and I crossed over and began to mount that little known and lightless road to ascend into the shining world again. He first, I second, without thought of rest we climbed the dark until we reached the point where a round opening brought in sight the blest and beauteous shining of the Heavenly cars. And we walked out once more beneath the Stars.” -Dante Alighieri (The Inferno) Like Dante, I could not have followed the path to this point in my life without the tireless aid of a guiding hand. I owe all my thanks to the boundless support I have received from my parents. They have never sacrificed an opportunity to help me to grow into a better person, and all that I know of success, I learned from them. I’m eternally grateful that their love and nurturing, and I’m also grateful that they instilled a passion for learning in me, that I carry to this day. I also thank my sister, Alayne, who has always been the role-model that I strove to emulate. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge and extend my thanks my academic advisor, Professor Kathleen Howell, for both pointing me in the right direction and giving me the freedom to approach my research at my own pace.
