Pan, moon of Saturn, close up - Cray - 03-11-2017 On March 7th, Cassini delivered the photos to date of the little ring-sweeping moon Pan. Details of the moon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(moon) Best of Pan before. The grayish left and right borders are the rings. Pan seen through the rings: RE: Pan, moon of Saturn, close up - Cray - 03-11-2017 And now Pan seen in March 2017 with ring duff piled around its waist: And from another angle: RE: Pan, moon of Saturn, close up - stevebowers - 03-11-2017 This seems to be a pile of snow or ice, accumulated along the equator as Pan moves through the Ring material. There is a similar ring on Iapetus, but it looks smaller because of Iapetus is a much larger moon.
