Description
This is my other contribution to SpaceRace Challenge 2009. To one of the lonely places in our Solar System, the small Saturnian shepherd moon* Pandora, discovered in 1980.
12 tracks with the Yamaha, and one Zebra 2 track. The title is a nod to Eugene O'Neill.
Photo:
Faint ringlets abound in this view of Saturn's F and outer A rings. The F ring presents its familiar irregularities near the ring's outermost edge. At lower right can be seen faint ringlets within the Encke Gap. The oblong moon Pandora (52 miles across) appears to hover above the ring, overexposed in this photo (it's much smaller than it looks). This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 1 degree above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 4, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 784,000 miles from Pandora.

* Shepherds are moons that orbit within or just beyond a planet's ring system. They have the effect of sculpting the rings: giving them sharp edges, and creating gaps between them.
