Pandora: the closest view so far!
Caption NASA originale:"This is one of Cassini's closest views to date of Saturn's F-Ring shepherd moon Pandora. At least one crater is visible on the surface of this moon, which is thought to be an icy rubble pile, loosely bound together by gravity. Pandora is 84 Km across. 
Several of Saturn's Ring moons, including Pandora, show elongated, oval-like shapes with their long axes oriented along the moon-Saturn line. In this view, Cassini is looking at the side of Pandora facing away from Saturn. The image shows the moon's leading hemisphere (although, as mentioned, Pandora is not actually round). To the right, much of the moon's surface is in shadow. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 20, 2005, at a distance of approx. 346.000 Km from Pandora and at a Sun-Pandora-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 21°".
