Saturn's Moon Pan from Cassini
Saturn's moon Pan has an unusual shape, resembling a walnut with a central ridge. Images from the Cassini spacecraft, orbiting Saturn, reveal this detailed structure, including rolling terrain and a few craters. Pan is only 30 kilometers across and orbits within the 300-kilometer-wide Encke Gap in Saturn's A-ring.
