Description
Saturn from Prometheus
Two astronauts explore Saturn�s moon Prometheus in mans continue conquest of the Solar System. Prometheus is an inner satellite of Saturn. It was discovered in the 1980 from photos taken by the Voyager 1 probe, and was provisionally designated S/1980 S 27.
This small moon is extremely elongated, measuring about 119 by 87 by 61 km. It has several ridges and valleys and a number of impact craters of about 20 km diameter are visible, but it is less cratered than nearby Pandora, Epimetheus and Janus. From its very low density and relatively high albedo, it seems likely that Prometheus is a very porous icy body. There is a lot of uncertainty in these values, however, and so this remains to be confirmed.
