Prometheus Rising Through Saturn's F Ring

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Saturn's moon Prometheus creates a dark streak in the F Ring, not by sweeping material, but by its gravity. Computer simulations show that the moon pulls particles aside, forming an empty path. This unexpected phenomenon was first observed by the Cassini spacecraft.
