Shepherd Moon Prometheus from Cassini
The Cassini spacecraft captured this detailed image of Prometheus, one of Saturn's small moons. Orbiting Saturn since 2004, Cassini's close-up view reveals Prometheus's 100-kilometer-long surface with bulges, ridges, and craters. These features, along with its oblong shape, are being studied to understand the moon's history and formation.
